Fire Strategy & Fire Risk Assessments

Fire Strategy & Fire Risk Assesment

Your legal obligation as a responsible person is to identify and mitigate fire hazards to keep people safe. A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is the critical foundation for meeting this duty and securing your final building compliance.

What You Need to Know

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires all non-domestic premises (and common areas of residential buildings) to have a suitable and sufficient FRA that is regularly reviewed.

The assessment process determines if your building provides adequate safety measures and identifies what is necessary to prevent fire and ensure safe evacuation. 

The FRA Report

Whilst fire safety requires year-round diligence, a comprehensive FRA is essential for demonstrating initial compliance and preparing for regulatory checks.

The final report provides clear findings, a prioritized action plan, and the technical evidence needed for statutory records. We ensure the assessment is robust enough to provide absolute confidence during any local authority inspection or audit.

Why Fire Strategy and Fire Risk Assessments are Essential for Your Project

A thorough and accurate Fire Risk Assessment is the most important factor in your overall building assurance strategy.

• Protecting Lives: The FRA ensures emergency escape routes, fire detection systems, and evacuation plans are fit for purpose, directly protecting occupants.
• Legal Compliance: It provides the documented proof that the Responsible Person has exercised due diligence in meeting their legal duties, minimizing the risk of fines or prosecution.
• Asset Protection: By identifying and mitigating fire risks, the assessment safeguards your property and ensures business continuity.
