Why Fire Risk Assessment is important

Many business owners don’t realise that having an up-to-date Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) isn’t just best practice- it’s a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This means all employers must ensure they have a suitable and current fire risk assessment in place. Including:

Maintaining fire precautions and equipment
Ensuing clear, accessible emergency route
Safe storage of flammable substances
Providing staff with fire safety training, including prevention, common causes of fires, and evacuation procedures

Failing to comply can result in heavy fines, prosecution, and even closure.

At Complete Food Safety, we provide professional Fire Risk Assessments tailored to your premises. Our qualified assessors will identify potential hazards and recommend practical solutions, giving you peace of mind by;

Ensuring your business if fully compliant
Reducing your legal and financial liability
Enhancing workplace safety for staff, customers, and visitors.

Information Gathering

Understand the building’s purpose, layout, and occupancy.
Review existing fire safety measures, maintenance records, and evacuation plans.
Identify who is at risk (staff, visitors, vulnererable individuals.)

Identifying Fire Hazards

Sources of ignition (e.g., electrical equipment, cooking, heaters).
Sources of fuel (furniture, packaging, flammable liquids).
Oxygen supply (ventilation, air conditioning).

Identifying People at Risk

Occupants (employees, customers, residents).
Visitors unfamiliar with the building.
High-risk individuals (elderly, disabled, children, night-shift workers).

Evaluating Risk & Existing Controls

Assess the likelihood of a fire starting.
Evaluate the effectiveness of current measures: alarms, extinguishers, signage, emergency lighting, escape routes.
Check staff fire safety training and evacuation drills.

Recording Findings & Recommendations

Document hazards and risks identified.
Prioritise actions (e.g., upgrade alarms, add extinguishers, improve signage).
Provide a clear, actionable plan for reducing risk.

Implementing & Training

Support the business in putting safety measures in place.
Provide or arrange fire safety training for staff.
Develop or update evacuation procedures.

Review & Update

Fire risk assessments should be reviewed regularly (often annually) or when:

- The building layout changes.
- Occupancy changes.
- A fire incident or near-miss occurs.
