Fire Risk Assessments in Central London
Following the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, all commercial properties must undergo periodic fire risk assessments to identify and eliminate any potential fire hazards in the workplace.
This assessment must be conducted by a "competent" individual, both for the safety of your employees and legal compliance. Our fire risk assessors have experience gleaned from years of service in the fire department, ensuring that your fire risk assessment is both compliant and applicable to implementing fire safety practices in your workplace.

Why is a Fire Risk Assessment Necessary?
Fire risk assessments are essential for ensuring the safety of a building and its occupants. A fire risk assessment enables the identification of hazards, vulnerabilities, and improvement areas; addressing these vulnerabilities can save lives, but without an assessment, they may go undetected until it is too late.
What Does a Fire Risk Assessment Include?
A fire risk assessment includes the following five steps:
Identifying individuals at risk – Individuals may be at risk due to work, building location, or mobility issues.
Recognizing fire hazards, such as sources of fuel, sources of ignition (flammable substances), and oxygen sources.
Analyze risks – Evaluate the preparedness of the staff, the availability of fire safety equipment (alarms, extinguishers, fire doors), the suitability of escape routes, and the frequency of fire drills. Determine whether or not the fire safety risks have been mitigated.
Survey findings – Assessors must document all conclusions of a fire risk assessment in writing to take corrective measures as needed.
Assessors should review fire risk assessments periodically to ensure that a building's fire safety remains adequate. It is recommended that a fire risk assessment be reevaluated annually.
