There is a legal requirement (the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005) for all non-domestic premises to conduct a fire risk assessment.
The fire risk assessment should follow the same 5 steps approach as general risk assessments, but should specifically focus on:
These three components form the basis of the fire triangle. Fire prevention (and fighting) relies on keeping the three components apart.

Do you require a fire risk assessment in the London area, or anywhere else in the UK? Here at Phoenix Health and Safety we can carry out fire safety risk assessments on your behalf or we can assist you by providing you with a fire risk assessment form, examples and additional support.
All fire safety risk assessments should have the same five step approach which are incorporated in general risk assessments. Identifying hazards in, a fire risk assessment should focus on the three components which form the basis for a fire triangle: identification of fuel sources (card, furniture, paper, liquids, wood and flammable gases), identification of ignition sources (electrical appliances, heating equipment and lighting) and identification of oxygen sources (ambient air, ventilation systems and open door and windows). Fire prevention ultimately relies on keeping these three components separated at all times.

Our consultants have vast experience with risk assessments, so you can rest assured that you are dealing with a professional and highly qualified company for your fire risk assessments around London, and the rest of the UK.
If you own a non-domestic building then The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that you are legally required to conduct a fire safety risk assessment. While fire risk assessments in London or other areas are easily put off for another day, should you be the victim of the fire you may ultimately invalidate your building's insurance and may also be subject to personal prosecution and possible imprisonment. Therefore, you should ensure you have a copy of your fire risk assessment to show to a Fire Safety Officer during an audit.
