    Your Legal Obligations for Commercial Fire Risk Assessments

    Conducting a fire risk assessment is a legal requirement for commercial sites. If you are the responsible person for a non-private (home or dwelling) building as an employer, owner or occupier, it’s your duty to spot potential fire risks in your premises and take the relevant action. Those that ignore this duty can face limitless fines or up to two years in prison. 

    • Identify fire hazards
    • Identify people at risk
    • Evaluate, remove or reduce the risks
    • Record your findings, prepare an emergency plan and provide training
    • Review and update the fire risk assessment regularly
