What is a Fire Risk Assessment?

A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 for all commercial premises, including offices, retail stores, warehouses, restaurants, and industrial facilities. Business owners and responsible persons must regularly assess fire risks and implement appropriate fire safety measures.

• Identification of potential fire hazards (e.g., electrical faults, flammable materials)
• Evaluation of people at risk (residents, visitors, vulnerable individuals)
• Inspection of fire detection and warning systems (smoke alarms, heat detectors)
• Assessment of fire escape routes and emergency exits
• Review of fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and suppression measures
• Analysis of fire doors, compartmentation, and fire-resistant materials
• Emergency procedures, evacuation plans, and signage requirements
• Compliance with legal and regulatory fire safety standards

Who Needs a Fire Risk Assessment?
