  • Inspecting safety equipment and checking the condition and suitability of fire detection systems, alarms, extinguishers and emergency escape lighting.
  • Evaluating escape routes and reviewing access, signage and the overall condition of emergency fire exits to support a safe evacuation.
  • Reviewing, developing or updating emergency procedures and fire safety measures for staff and visitors, tailored to the layout and use of your building.
  • Assessing building structure and examining fire doors and compartmentation to confirm your building’s ability to contain and slow the spread of fire.

INITIAL CONSULTATION

Effective fire prevention starts with a detailed conversation about your business premises and its requirements. Fire safety planning relies on understanding how your building is used, the people within it and the specific risks present. We take the time to learn about your environment and gather a complete picture from the outset.

DESIGN

With a clear understanding of your fire safety needs, we will create a tailored package that supports compliance and reduces risk across your premises. This includes the measures needed to protect staff, visitors and the building itself, with a focus on practical solutions that fit the way your organisation operates.

PLAN

We develop a fire safety plan created from both a fire prevention perspective and emergency response. This includes reviewing escape routes, building an effective written fire risk assessment and identifying actions that strengthen your fire prevention strategy. Our planning process is designed to integrate smoothly with your day-to-day operations.

EXECUTE

Our team carries out all fire risk assessment work with minimal disruption to your business and its customers. We deliver assessments, safety checks and any required updates efficiently, supporting both ongoing maintenance and one-off reviews to keep your premises safe and compliant.

FAQS ABOUT FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS

WHAT IS A FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT?

A fire risk assessment is a detailed review of your premises that identifies fire risks and outlines the actions needed to reduce them. Fire risk assessment steps include locating potential hazards, assessing who may be affected, checking fire safety equipment and reviewing escape routes and emergency plans. This process helps your workplace meet UK fire safety requirements and supports a safer environment for staff and visitors.

WHO CAN CARRY OUT A FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT?

A fire risk assessment can be carried out by a competent fire risk assessor or by the nominated responsible person within a business, provided they have the knowledge and experience to identify risks correctly. However, it is highly recommended to use a professional fire risk assessor, such as those from Contact One, who are fully versed in the latest legal requirements and guidelines. This approach reduces the likelihood of overlooking risks and supports ongoing compliance across your premises.

HOW OFTEN - FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS?

Fire risk assessments should be reviewed regularly to keep your premises compliant and safe. A new fire risk assessment is typically recommended every three years, with annual reviews carried out to confirm the existing assessment is still valid. You must update or redo the assessment if there are significant changes to the building layout or its use, or if staff numbers or working practices change in a way that may affect fire safety. Get in touch today to discuss your premises’ needs and details such as fire risk assessment costs and schedules.
