Fire Risk Assessment

A fire risk assessment helps identify fire hazards, assess risks, and put safety measures in place. It ensures buildings are safe and meet UK fire safety laws.

Why is a fire risk assessment important

Comply With UK Fire Safety Laws

Fires can cause injuries, loss of life, and serious damage to property. A fire risk assessment UK helps prevent fires by spotting hazards and reducing risks. It also ensures businesses follow the law.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes fire risk assessments a legal requirement. Employers, landlords, and building owners must carry them out regularly. Failing to comply can result in fines, legal action, or business closure.

A fire risk assessment is not a one-time task. It must be reviewed and updated regularly, especially when changes occur in the workplace. This ensures that new risks are identified and managed effectively.

Good contact to say when they would arrive on site with information up front on what they would need to complete the risk assessments. Once received the risk assessments were easy to read and the 'to do' tasks were explained to ensure we remained compliant. Very competitively priced as well. Highly recommend.

Fantastic service - contacted last minute on Tuesday as needed some risk assessments carried out by today (Friday) for a regulatory inspection. Max arranged for an assessor to come to site this morning, first thing before the building got busy with staff and patients (we are an NHS premises). The assessor was polite, friendly, professional and helpful with useful suggestions. We were on a really tight deadline and the risk assessment reports were sent over well within the deadline, they look professional and thorough and only a couple of actions were highlighted (which we have already carried out). I have already recommended HSRA to several of my peers. Thank you

Using HSRA to do our Fire Risk Assessment was simple, we sent our address and within an hour we had a quote once their team checked the site on google maps. An Appointment was made for their surveyor to arrive and inspect the property. The Report arrived a couple of days later with a information for every part of the business including guidance on what to do in those areas that were not up to scratch. A big thanks to Max and his team at HSRA
