Fire Risk Assessment providers in Bristol, North Somerset and the wider UK.
In the UK, a fire risk assessment is a legal requirement for almost all types of premises. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 mandates that the Responsible Person (RP) of non-domestic premises must carry out a fire risk assessment to reduce or eliminate the risk of fire and identify persons at risk

Why do you need a Fire Risk Assessment?
- The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO) makes completing a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) a legal requirement for business.
- The FSO applies to all workplaces and the common parts of buildings containing two or more domestic premises. It places legal duties on anyone in control of these premises (the Responsible Person – usually the owner or landlord) to undertake and record a fire risk assessment and put in place and maintain general fire precautions.
- A FRA is required to ensure any fire risks are identified within a business and ensures that people are kept safe. It must be carried out regularly and, when there are more than five people occupying a building or within a business, a written record of each assessment must be kept.

What are the impacts of not managing your
Fire Risk appropriately & effectively?
1. Loss of life:
The most severe impact of any fire is loss of life. Our FRA’s focus on this as their primary concern, to mitigate the risk to life and the ongoing impacts of such a situation.
2. Action by the enforcing authority(ies), which could result access to part or all of the building being prohibited, including:
- Article 29 Alterations Notice
- Article 30 Enforcement Notice
- Article 31 Prohibition Notice
3. Prosecution resulting in:
- Unlimited fines
- Imprisonment
4. Physical & emotional harm:
This is the reduction in the quality of life of those who are victims of fire. It includes direct physical and emotional harms from injuries, fatalities, and potential emotional harm suffered by those who are rescued from fires.
5. Property damage:
This is the cost of damage to properties as a result of fire, water, and smoke damage following a fire incident. It includes direct damage to the property itself from the incident, and also wider associated damage, such as to contents, stock, machinery, and interruption to business.
6. Reputational damage:
This cost is not specifically measurable, but the impact cannot be underestimated.
7. Lost output:
The cost of lost output as a result of fires is split into two broad categories.
The first is lost output following property damage in businesses, which could stop individuals from being able to work and lead to unemployment.
The second category comes from victims of fire, which causes lost productivity when individuals take time off work and/or are unable to work, and potentially reduced productivity whilst at work following injuries.
8. Insurance costs and administration:
The result of a fire of any size will have an impact on the procurement and acceptance of business insurance, and at the least may result in a significant increase in premiums.
9. Environmental cost & impact:
This includes the cost to society of carbon emissions from fires, the reduction in air quality from fires, and also the cost of environmental damage from firefighting measures undertaken to extinguish significant fires.
10. External costs – Health service costs:
This is the cost to health services in dealing with the physical and emotional harm of fire. These are mainly based on NHS unit costs of treatment, and include ambulance costs, medical procedure costs associated with physical harm, and counselling costs associated with emotional harm.
