Introduction
A fire risk assessment (also known as a fire safety assessment) determines what you need to do to prevent fire, as well as what you need to do in the event of a fire.
A fire risk assessment helps you to identify fire hazards, identify those at risk, and determine what you need to do to reduce or remove any risks.
Fire risk assessments should be reviewed once a year. It’s a legal requirement for all commercial buildings, as well as large HMOs and communal areas of residential flats.

Common FAQs
Yes, a fire risk assessment is a legal requirement according to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. If you are responsible for a building that is not a ‘single private dwelling’, completing a fire risk assessment for your premises is mandatory. As of October 1, 2023 it is a legal requirement to have a FRA for your workplace, regardless of the number of employees.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that the person who carries out a fire risk assessment for a building must be ‘competent’. By ‘competent’, the order means someone who knows enough about fire safety to ensure the fire risk assessment is carried out correctly.
When a fire risk assessment has been created, action points will need to be identified, who is responsible, and a target completion date.
For commercial property, the building owner is responsible. In the case of a rental property, the landlord is responsible.
