What are your legal responsibilities ?
There is significant legislation known as the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which primarily applies to buildings with multiple occupants or those with several floors.
The reason for this is that the law mandates such buildings to undergo an initial fire risk assessment and to ensure these assessments are regularly updated afterwards.
The only ambiguous part of this regulation is that the term ‘regularly’ is not clearly defined, making it challenging to determine the exact frequency for conducting fire risk assessments. In our professional view, we suggest performing one annually. This recommendation stems from the fact that buildings can undergo many changes within a year, making it essential to stay on top of potential risks and hazards.
Additionally, the Act designates a ‘Responsible Person’ (RP), whose role is to oversee fire risk assessments, coordinate fire drills, and assist individuals during an emergency.
Fire Risk Assessments Batley - Key Points
See below, our fire risk assessment process in more detail:
Identify the fire hazards – First of all, you need to know what the risks and hazards are within your building. With our skill and experience, we will determine all of these for you and make you aware. Some things are way more obvious than others so highlighting them all properly and efficiently is important as you can imagine.
Identify the people at risk – When we have a good idea of the actual risks and hazards, it’s essential to see who may be impacted. We can then move these people away or create a plan about protecting them for fire related incidents. At the very least, people can be made aware of the risks surrounding them and that would be taking a positive and proactive approach.
Evaluate, remove and protect from risk – This is where much of the actions and implementation happens. Once we have gathered observations and a good understanding, we can physically add procedures, equipment or new processes that will make a physical difference.
Record, plan, inform and train (if required) – At this point, we will create documentation that records all the details needed. This acts as proof that you’ve had a professional assessment conducted, and you can show this to the local authorities if you need to. We will also offer specific training to individuals should we deem if necessary.
Review regularly – We have a system that can automate annual reminders to you so you never forget to update your fire risk assessments again. We already do this for many of our clients in Batley and the surrounding areas.

Yes, all non-domestic buildings, including small offices, must have a fire risk assessment in place, regardless of how small it is. There is often a misconception that just because the size of a building might be small that they don’t need the same levels of fire safety. This is totally wrong so don’t get caught short on this. All business premises with over 5 employees require a fire risk assessment.
Failure to conduct a fire risk assessment can lead to penalties, legal action, and even imprisonment if negligence results in injury or death. The business could also be fined or shut down by the authorities. It is not worth purposefully failing to comply, so make sure you comply with the latest regulations!
We’ve got extensive experience across a range of different industries and sectors which is great because we get to help an array of businesses and organisations in Batley.

“I highly recommend Lee and his company. He conducted three fire risk assessments for us and delivered all reports quickly. His manner was very professional and responsive and we will certainly be using his services again to review our fire procedures. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy fire risk assessor, you’re in good hands with Lee.”
We simply couldn’t ask for a more glowing review than that!
A fire risk assessment should be reviewed regularly—typically every 12 months—or when there are significant changes to the building, occupancy, or layout. For larger premises or property, a fire risk assessment may be required at least once every six months. Every premise is different and therefore it’s always recommended to get in touch to seek bespoke advice.
Great question. The duration of a fire risk assessment at your property will be dependent on the size and complexity of your business. Fire risk assessments can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day. Absolute Health Fire Safety will keep you fully up-to-date with expected timeframes and how long we are anticipating your assessment to take.
During comprehensive fire risk assessments, there are common fire hazards that are identified regularly. Common hazards include flammable materials, poor electrical safety, obstructed fire exits, and a lack of fire detection and suppression systems.
At all business premises, there should be essential measures which include: fire alarms, extinguishers, fire doors, clear escape routes, and emergency lighting. Often when we conduct fire risk assessments, we identify that one or more of these measures are missing and we aim to implement them promptly to ensure compliance and maximum fire safety.
As you can see from our above cost guide, the price of a fire risk assessment ultimately depends on the size of your premises. For buildings up to 2,000ft in size, you’re likely to pay approximately £250. For buildings over 10,000ft, we recommend getting in touch with us for a bespoke quotation.
