Fire Risk Assessment

A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement for all non-domestic premises and the common areas of residential buildings with shared corridors, stairways, or entrances. It identifies fire hazards, evaluates the risk, and recommends control measures. The responsible person must ensure it is carried out and regularly reviewed.

Frequently asked questions about FRA

Who needs a fire risk assessment?
Every non-domestic premises must have one: offices, shops, factories, schools, care homes. For residential buildings, landlords of HMOs and buildings with shared common areas need one. Single-occupancy dwellings are exempt.
Can I do my own fire risk assessment?
The law says the "responsible person" must ensure it is carried out by a "competent person." For simple premises, you may be able to do it yourself if you have sufficient knowledge. For complex buildings, hire a qualified fire risk assessor.
How often should it be reviewed?
There is no fixed interval in law, but annually is considered best practice. You must also review it after any significant changes to the building, its use, or the people in it, or after a fire.
