The Importance of Fire Risk Assessments for Your Business

Fire risk assessments are essential for ensuring workplace safety and legal compliance. Every business owner has a responsibility to identify potential fire hazards and take preventive measures. At Barbon Fire Protection, we provide thorough fire risk assessments to help you mitigate risks and protect your employees and assets.

Why Fire Risk Assessments Matter A fire risk assessment is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Regular assessments can:

  • Identify fire hazards before they become threats.

  • Reduce the risk of injury or property damage.

  • Ensure compliance with UK fire safety regulations.

  • Improve emergency response planning.
