Commercial Fire Risk Assessment Services for Businesses and Workplaces
Accredited fire risk assessments for shops, offices, warehouses, hospitality, industrial and commercial premises
All commercial premises have specific fire safety obligations under the Fire Safety Order 2005. A suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is legally required and must be kept up to date.

Legal responsibilities for commercial buildings:
If you are an employer, business owner, landlord or managing agent, you are classed as the Responsible Person under UK fire safety law.
As the Responsible Person, you must ensure a written fire risk assessment is completed by a competent person, reviewed annually, updated after any significant change and fully acted upon.
Non-compliance may result in enforcement notices, fines or prosecution.
