Fire Risk Assessment

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires premises in which people work to have a formal fire risk assessment. The links opposite give excellent guidance both from government and several fire brigades which you may find useful.

With small premises it is perfectly acceptable for the fire risk assessment to be performed by the owner/manager. However, larger premises, or perhaps more complex premises, the use of a properly qualified and experienced fire safety consultant will be necessary.

Marbco are pleased to offer guidance and advice as to whether it is advisable for managers/owners to perform their own assessment. We will advise if we feel it necessary for a professional to be used.

A fire risk assessment must comprise:

1. General information on the premises
2. Identification of fire hazards
3. Existing fire protection measures
4. Fire safety management
5. Notes and comments on hazards observed
6. Action required

It is a requirement of law that the fire risk assessment is available for inspection on demand by the fire safety authorities.

We encourage organisations to contact us for initial, no obligation, professional advice on fire safety. If you have a particular question, or seek clarity on any element of fire safety, you'll find our expert yet friendly approach is one of the main reasons for our continued success.
