Why You Need a Fire Risk Assessment

A fire risk assessment is a legal requirement for all non-domestic premises in the UK. It ensures your business premises are safe by identifying potential fire hazards, evaluating risks to life and property, and recommending steps to reduce or eliminate those risks.

If your business has five or more employees, or operates in commercial premises, you are required by law to have a written fire risk assessment. Failing to comply can lead to fines, legal action, or serious harm to people and property.

The Legal and Safety Risks of Ignoring Fire Risk Assessments

Not having a fire risk assessment puts your business, staff, and customers at serious risk. From legal consequences to potential injury and property damage, the impact of non-compliance can be devastating—and entirely preventable.

Legal Penalties and Fines

Failure to carry out a fire risk assessment is a breach of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This can lead to enforcement notices, prosecution, unlimited fines, or even imprisonment for responsible persons.

Increased Risk of Injury or Loss of Life

Without an assessment, fire hazards may go unnoticed, putting employees, customers, and visitors at serious risk in the event of a fire.

Damage to Property and Business Disruption

A fire can cause devastating damage to your premises, equipment, and stock. The aftermath could result in operational downtime, financial loss, or permanent business closure.
