Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the “responsible person” for a premises — usually the employer, owner or occupier — must carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment. Enforcement can mean unlimited fines or prosecution, not just for the business but for the individual named as responsible.
A fire risk assessment isn't paperwork for its own sake. It's the document that stands between you and enforcement action if something goes wrong, and the one that shows you took your duty seriously. We carry out a full PAS 79 assessment on site — never a desktop exercise — and put the reasoning in writing so you can defend it to a landlord, insurer or inspector without needing us on the phone.
"They didn't just tick the standard box — they explained exactly why our detection category needed to be higher than a generic template would suggest, and put the reasoning in writing."
