What Does a Fire Risk Assessment Cover?

A structured review of your premises to identify fire hazards, evaluate the risk to people, and recommend measures to reduce that risk. A legal requirement for all non-domestic premises under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Fire Hazards Identification of potential fire hazards and ignition sources throughout your premises.
People at Risk Assessment of people at risk, including vulnerable occupants, staff, and visitors.
Safety Measures Evaluation of existing fire safety measures, detection systems, and fire-fighting equipment.
Means of Escape Review of escape routes, fire exit signage, and emergency lighting provision.
Compartmentation Assessment of fire compartmentation and structural fire protection measures.
Recommendations Clear recommendations for improvement with priority ratings and timescales.
Compliance Record Full documentation to demonstrate compliance to enforcing authorities.

PAS 79-1:2020 methodology — carried out by experienced, IFSM-registered assessors. You receive a clear, detailed report with prioritised action items, not a generic checklist.
