Fire risk assessments

Every business has a legal duty to carry out a fire risk assessment. Our assessors provide thorough inspections that identify hazards and help organisations stay safe and compliant.

At J.S.O Fire Safety Consultants, we conduct thorough fire risk assessments to identify potential fire hazards and evaluate the level of risk these hazards present. This detailed assessment covers everything from ignition sources and flammable materials to escape routes and fire safety procedures. By understanding the likelihood of a fire and the potential consequences, we provide you with the information you need to safeguard your premises and protect occupants.

Our comprehensive fire risk assessments ensure that your building adheres to the latest UK fire safety regulations. We inspect your fire safety systems, including fire alarms, extinguishers and evacuation routes, to determine their effectiveness in preventing and controlling a fire. The assessment also considers how fires could start and spread, as well as the steps required to mitigate these risks.

With our fire risk assessments, you gain peace of mind knowing that your fire safety measures are up to date and effective. Whether you manage a commercial, industrial or residential property, our assessments are tailored to the unique needs of your building.

Why it matters

The value of fire risk assessments

A legal duty

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to carry out and maintain a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment.

Proportionate actions

We prioritise findings so you can address the highest risks first rather than facing an undifferentiated list of defects.

Evidence you can share

Reports are written to be used by insurers, enforcing authorities, boards and building managers.
