FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT BIRMINGHAM & MIDLANDS

• In the UK, a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a legal requirement for anyone controlling or managing non-domestic premises—this includes businesses, shops, offices, houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), blocks of flats, and more
   
• The purpose is to:
   
  • Identify fire hazards (e.g., electrical equipment, combustible materials),
     
  • Determine who might be at risk,
     
  • Evaluate existing fire safety measures like alarms, extinguishers, and escape routes,
     
  • Provide a clear, actionable report on how to reduce risks
     
• Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, you're the “responsible person” legally required to ensure the assessment is “suitable and sufficient,” either by doing it yourself (if competent) or by hiring a qualified expert
   

Failing to carry out a compliant FRA can result in:

• Heavy fines or even imprisonment,
   
• Business closure or prohibition notices,
   
• Potential invalidation of insurance policies

• With costs from as little as £250 why ris it ?
   

• Best practice: Review annually, and immediately after significant changes like structural alterations, use changes, or occupancy shifts 

• Review frequencies can vary—always check specific regulatory updates or seek expert advice.

1. Define your needs:
    
   • Is this a one-off assessment?
      
   • Do you require combined services (e.g. fire-door audit)?
      
   • Are you managing a complex or high-risk site, like an HMO or mixed-use building?
      

            2.  Book your FRA:
 

• Ensure you receive a formal document that outlines hazards, recommended actions, timelines, and review dates.
   

            3. Implement recommendations:
 

• Address high-risk issues promptly.
   
• Schedule reviews or re-assessments per risk level and regulatory guidance.
