How Often Should a Fire Risk Assessment Be Reviewed?

Once your Fire Risk Assessment is completed, it is essential to keep it up to date to remain compliant and protect the safety of your premises and occupants.

While UK fire safety legislation does not specify an exact timeframe, annual reviews are widely accepted as best practice. According to guidance from the Chief Fire Officers Association (CFOA), the responsible person must review the fire risk assessment regularly to ensure it reflects any changes to:

• The building structure or layout
• Occupancy levels or building use
• Work processes or fire safety systems
• Fire safety legislation or regulations

Reviewing your fire risk assessment annually helps identify any updates required due to changes in fire safety law, including recent updates introduced in October 2023, and ensures your premises remain legally compliant and protected.

• Annual reviews recommended as best practice
• Keep up to date with changing fire safety laws
• Maintain a safe environment for staff and visitors
• Avoid enforcement action or legal penalties

Do I Need to Complete All the Actions in the Fire Risk Assessment Report?

Yes, completing the actions outlined in your Fire Risk Assessment report is a legal requirement.

The report is created to support the Responsible Person in meeting their duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. These actions are not optional recommendations, they are essential steps to ensure the safety of your staff, residents, customers, and property.

Failure to act on the recommendations within your fire risk assessment can lead to serious consequences, including:

• Enforcement notices or legal action from the Fire and Rescue Service
• Hefty fines or prosecution for non-compliance
• In severe cases, closure of your premises

Fire services have the authority to inspect your building and take enforcement action if the findings in your fire risk assessment are ignored.

• Legal obligation to address fire risks
• Protect lives and safeguard your business
• Avoid prosecution and financial penalties
• Demonstrate full compliance with fire safety law

Do not delay, act on your Fire Risk Assessment today. If you need help implementing the recommendations, we are here to guide you through every step.

How Much Does a Fire Risk Assessment Cost?

The cost of a Fire Risk Assessment can vary depending on several key factors, there is no one-size-fits-all price. Each property and business is unique, and we tailor every assessment to meet your specific fire safety requirements.

Our pricing is based on:

• The size and layout of the premises
• The type of business activity (e.g. standard office vs. high-risk operations like engineering or manufacturing)
• The presence of sleeping risks (e.g. HMOs, care homes, hotels)
• The number of storeys or buildings involved
• The number of staff, visitors, or residents on-site

Why a Suitable and Sufficient Fire Risk Assessment Matters

When it comes to fire risk assessments, not all reports are created equal. Over 75% of the assessments we review from other providers are non-compliant, meaning they are not suitable and sufficient as required by UK fire safety legislation.

A fire risk assessment that fails to meet the required standard is not only a waste of your money, but it also leaves you legally exposed. An inadequate report can result in:

• Prosecution of the Responsible Person
• Enforcement action by the Fire and Rescue Service
• In serious cases, closure of your premises

Do not let a cheap, substandard report put your people, property, and business at risk.

Our independent fire risk assessments are fully compliant, detailed, and tailored to your premises, ensuring they meet the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

• Fully compliant with fire safety regulations
• Clear, detailed Action Plans for your premises
• Trusted by businesses across the Midlands to the Lake District
• No shortcuts, just professional, reliable fire safety advice

Choosing a fire risk assessment based on price alone can be a false economy. Choose quality, compliance, and peace of mind.
