Risk Assessment

Fire Safety

The latest fire safety & risk assessment legislation came into force in October 2006 and requires almost every business with employees in the UK to carry out a fire risk assessment and take precautions where necessary. Our Fire Safety & Risk Assessment Guide will help you to carry out an assessment and our Fire Review Checklist will help you to identify the relevant fire safety precautions that you should be considering.

Fire is probably the most devastating hazard a company can face, threatening lives and livelihoods. While bigger businesses can afford to plan for such events, many smaller businesses find it impossible to recover from the consequences of a serious fire.

Fire safety & risk assessment measures taken today could save your business tomorrow – and could save lives too. Our two-page guide walks you through the steps you should take in making thorough business fire risk assessments and gives you links to where you can learn more.

Our checklist gives you a printed document that you can use to begin your fire risk management process. It’s short, easy to use and a good place to start.
