What are your legal responsibilities ?
Non-domestic properties are legally-obliged in line with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 to have a comprehensive fire risk assessment conducted at their premises which is followed up by proof of documentation and certification.
It is the duty of the ‘responsible person’ (RP) to arrange the fire safety risk assessment with a credible fire risk assessors just like our team at Absolute Health Fire Safety. Failure to do so will result in hefty prosecutions, poor business reputation, and may lead to fatalities. It’s paramount and a legal requirement that you keep written record of your fire risk assessment if your business has 5 or more people.
Carrying out a fire risk assessment and following through with your duty as a ‘responsible person’ (RP) or property owner is paramount to maximise the fire safety for your employees, guests, and visitors. For best practice and maximum fire safety, we recommend having an assessment conducted at least once every two years.

Fire Risk Assessments Castleford - FAQs
No, fire risk assessments are NOT required annually. There are no legal requirements that state this is necessary. However, if there are any moderate to major changes within your premises, you will be required to update your fire risk assessment. Furthermore, if there are drastic changes to personnel within your business, this is another reason to revisit your assessment.
Absolute Health Fire Safety provides fire risk assessments in Castleford for a multitude of sectors including care homes, hotels, office buildings and blocks, hotels, flats, and schools. Fire risk assessments are a legal requirement for all the sectors mentioned so make sure yours is fully up-to-date with the latest legislation.
The first step of a fire risk assessment is to identify all potential fire hazards. Our accredited and highly-qualified fire risk assessors will ensure that all potential risks and first identified before actionable steps are taken to reduce and/or minimise.
The legislation states that fire risk assessments are legally required if you have over 5 employees. Therefore, if your business currently has under 5 employees, it’s not technically a legal requirement. With this in mind, we still think you would benefit from having one anyway, especially if you’re looking to grow your team in the near future.
Absolute Health Fire Safety is proud of the excellent reputation that we’ve developed over the past 5 years and continue to provide unrivaled service. You can check out our latest 5-star reviews here.
A fire risk assessment is a systematic evaluation of a building or facility to identify potential fire hazards, assess the risk of those hazards causing harm, and implement measures to reduce or eliminate the risk. It is a specialist area of ours here at Absolute Health Fire Safety Castleford and we’d be delighted to offer more information on the subject should you wish to get in touch with us.
A fire risk assessment is essential to ensure the safety of occupants and property by identifying and mitigating potential fire risks, complying with regulations, and creating a safer environment. A fire risk assessment is so much more than just a piece of paper, it’s a way of potentially saving someone’s life. If you are aware of all the risks and hazards in your buildings then you can make plans around them.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 introduced a legal duty for the Responsible Person (RP) of any non domestic premises to carry out Fire Risk Assessments, including measures to reduce or eliminate the risk of fire and identify persons at risk. Similar requirements apply in Scotland under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, and in Northern Ireland under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006. This legislation applies to all non-domestic properties including commercial and public premises, such as shops, factories, warehouses and offices, and also schools, nursing homes as well as businesses providing sleeping accommodation.
As you will be well aware by now, fire risk assessments in Castleford for all business premises, with over 5 employees, are a legal requirement in line with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. However, there is a multitude of other benefits that you’ll reap as a by-product, too. As a result of reducing fire damage and increasing fire safety, your business is likely to suffer from less disruption and you’ll be creating a much safer space for all.
