If you’re responsible for a commercial building, you have a legal duty to manage fire safety and ensure an up-to-date Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is in place. An FRA identifies hazards, evaluates risk, and provides clear recommendations to keep people safe and support legal compliance.
Our assessments examine potential sources of ignition, fuel and oxygen, the effectiveness of existing fire safety measures, and the risks to occupants. You’ll receive a clear, practical report with prioritised actions to help you improve safety and demonstrate compliance.
Craven can offer fire risk assessments for as little as £450 + VAT depending on the size and complexity of your business.
Fire safety is an essential component of workplace occupational health and safety. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires businesses with five or more employees to have a written fire risk assessment for their premises. In addition to this, local authorities and insurance companies can also stipulate that businesses have a written fire risk assessment.
Craven Safety Services can offer our expertise in this area and provide your business with a fire risk assessment which will detail:
- Identification of the sources of ignition, fuel and oxygen
- The mitigation of fire and effects
- Raising the alarm
- Risks to occupants
- Fire training
- Management of fire safety
- An action plan with recommendations on how to improve fire safety
- Details of tests and checks
- We can also assist with fire log books and fire emergency plans tailored to your individual business.
The Responsible Person, usually the building owner or occupant, must ensure that a competent person carried out a FRA. A competent person must also ensure that any FRAs are reviewed regularly. Due to the nature of risks involved in fire safety, it’s recommended that you outsource FRAs. This ensures the document is written by someone with expertise, and also saves you time carrying it out yourself.
During a FRA, our qualified inspector will conduct a walkaround and may ask you questions regarding your current fire safety measures.
We’ll discuss any areas which may require improvements with you, and provide a written FRA including an action plan after the visit. The FRA will identify any areas that may be more susceptible in the event of a fire, individuals at risk, current working practices that may contribute to the likelihood of a fire, and also areas in which you currently comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
