Fire Risk Assessments FAQs

Fire Risk Assessments

A fire risk assessment is a thorough evaluation of your premises to identify potential fire hazards, assess the risk of fire, and recommend measures to reduce or eliminate these risks.

All non-domestic properties, including commercial buildings, offices, and public venues, require a fire risk assessment to comply with fire safety regulations.

A fire risk assessment should be reviewed annually or whenever there are significant changes to the building, its occupancy, or its use.

Failure to conduct a fire risk assessment can result in legal penalties, increased insurance premiums, and a higher risk of fire-related incidents.

The responsibility lies with the building owner, employer, or designated 'responsible person.' They may hire a professional like J.S.O Fire Safety Consultants to conduct the assessment.

It involves identifying fire hazards, evaluating the risk, checking fire safety equipment, and ensuring that adequate fire safety measures are in place.

While some basic assessments can be done in-house, a professional assessment is recommended to ensure thoroughness and compliance with regulations.

A report is provided detailing the findings, recommendations, and any actions required to improve fire safety.

The cost varies depending on the size and complexity of the property. Contact us at J.S.O Fire Safety Consultants for a tailored quote.
