Commercial Fire Risk Assessment FAQs:

Do you have to have a Fire Risk Assessment?

Yes, under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all businesses with premises in the UK must carry out a Fire Risk Assessment. This applies to employers, landlords, and anyone in control of non-domestic premises. Fire risk assessments should also look at the proper storage of dangerous substances - especially flammable ones.

What happens if I don’t have a Fire Risk Assessment?

Failing to conduct a Fire Risk Assessment can result in serious legal consequences, including fines, enforcement notices, and even prosecution. If a fire occurs and you don’t have an assessment in place, you could face criminal charges and liability for damages and it is likely the insurance company will refuse to pay out. Having a risk assessment carried out by a suitably competent person completes your legal requirement, so you know you're covered if the worst should happen.

How often should a Fire Risk Assessment be reviewed?

A Fire Risk Assessment should be reviewed regularly, at least annually or whenever there are significant changes to your premises, workforce, or business operations. These are designed to prevent fire and teach you how to respond if there is a fire, so it's vital that this is kept up to date.

Who is responsible for carrying out a Fire Risk Assessment?

The Responsible Person (business owner, employer, landlord, or building manager) is legally required to ensure a Fire Risk Assessment is conducted and kept up to date, but it must be carried out by someone competent enough to assess the risks of fire fairly.

Can I do a Fire Risk Assessment myself?

Only if you have the competency and training to identify fire risks and implement necessary safety measures. However, most businesses opt for professional Fire Risk Assessors to ensure compliance and thorough risk management - that's where we come in at Barbon Fire Protection.

What does a Fire Risk Assessment involve?

Our Fire Risk Assessments are always made up of the following steps:

  • Identifying potential fire hazards
  • Evaluating who is at risk
  • Assessing fire safety measures (alarms, extinguishers, exits)
  • Creating an emergency plan
  • Recording and reviewing findings

What are the penalties for not complying with fire safety laws?

Non-compliance can lead to:

  • Fines up to £5,000 for minor breaches
  • Unlimited fines for severe breaches
  • Prison sentences for serious negligence

Do small businesses need a Fire Risk Assessment?

Yes, all businesses - regardless of size - must comply with fire safety laws. Even small offices, shops, and home-based businesses must assess fire risks and take precautions.

How long does a Fire Risk Assessment take?

The time required depends on the size and complexity of your premises, but most assessments take between a few hours to a full day.

How much does a fire safety risk assessment cost?

Costs vary depending on the size and risk level of your premises, but professional Fire Risk Assessments typically start from £200-£500 for small businesses and increase for larger or more complex buildings.
