Fire Risk Assessment Manchester: Expert Safety Services

Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, fire risk assessments are legally required for virtually all non-domestic premises. If you own, manage or operate a building, you must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out by a competent person. This requirement also applies to communal areas of residential flats and large Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs).

The ‘Responsible Person’ must ensure fire risk assessments are completed. This is typically:

• The employer for workplaces
• The building owner or landlord for commercial premises
• The managing agent or landlord for communal areas of residential buildings
• The business owner for business premises

We recommend that fire risk assessments are reviewed annually as best practice. However, they should also be reviewed whenever there are significant changes to:

• Building layout or structure
• Occupancy levels or types
• Work activities or processes
• Fire safety measures or equipment
• Following a fire incident or near miss
• If new legislation is introduced

Our comprehensive fire risk assessments include:

1. A thorough inspection of your premises
2. Identification of fire hazards and people at risk
3. Evaluation of existing fire safety measures
4. Assessment of fire detection and warning systems
5. Review of emergency routes and exits
6. Examination of firefighting equipment
7. Evaluation of staff training and fire drills
8. Assessment of record-keeping and maintenance
9. Development of a detailed action plan with prioritised recommendations

The time required depends on the size and complexity of your premises. A small office might take 2-3 hours, while a large industrial facility could require a full day or more. We always take the time needed to conduct a thorough assessment.

We pride ourselves on our responsiveness. In most cases, we can be on-site within 24 hours of your initial enquiry, and we deliver our comprehensive report within 5 working days of completing the assessment.
