Skip to content A documented fire risk assessment is required under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This assessment ensures that any fire-related hazards are identified and controlled, with the principal purposes of safeguarding lives by preventing fires from developing. Residential buildings over 18m in height are now subject to the Building Safety Act 2022, which impose additional duties.
A fire risk assessment is a systematic evaluation of a building to identify potential fire hazards, assess the risk to occupants and establish whether existing safety measures are adequate. SafetyRAC undertake a range of commercial and residential fire risk assessments to enable businesses to comply with their statutory obligations. We provide a detailed report that outlines both immediate and long-term actions to enhance fire safety arrangements.
A fire safety procedure is a formal document which sets out how fire safety will be managed. It includes key roles and responsibilities as well as guidelines on the frequencies of various fire safety checks. Having a clear fire safety procedure in place is essential for reducing risks and demonstrating good governance. SafetyRAC can help develop (or just review) your fire safety procedure, ensuring that they are suitable and sufficient.
A fire evacuation plan sets out how people should safely exit the building in the event of a fire. This includes information on the evacuation strategy, designated escape routes, assembly points, and specific roles of those managing buildings. Every building, particularly residential accomodation should have appropriate plans. SafetyRAC can support develop fire evacuation plans and associated personal emergency evacuation plans (PEEPs).
