Fire Alarms Maintenance & Fire Risk Assessments

What is a Business Fire Risk Assessment?

If you have 5 employees or more, you must have a Fire Risk Assessment carried out at your premises by law, even if most of the staff are not based at your premises you still have to have a Fire Risk Assessment. A fire risk assessment is essentially an audit of a building to assess any possible fire risks, Fire protection and solutions to keep your premises safe for all employees and visitors. The Assessment will give advice and guidance on improvements required and also asses your emergency escape procedure and plans. Even if you have a Fire Risk assessment it may be out of date if any changes at all have been made or it may have been undertaken by an unqualified person (in the event of a Fire a Fire Risk Assessment which is incorrect or misleading could lead to a prison sentence).

Fire Risk Assessments should be audited at least annually by a competent person and should be undertaken by a qualified assessor.
