Unsure where to start? You're in the right place.

If you have been told you need a fire risk assessment and are not sure where to start, here’s everything you need to know.

6 steps to help you get started

A fire risk assessment is like an MOT for your building. But instead of focusing getting a pass or fail, see it as an overall risk rating based on the likelihood of fire, and the potential consequence. The list of actions provided is there to help you continuously improve upon to better protect your buildings and people from the risk of fire.

1 Identify the need for a fire risk assessment

A fire risk assessment is a legal requirement. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment to be completed by a competent person.

4 What we assess

We meet the person responsible for fire safety and review your documentation, procedures and testing records. Our assessor will then assess the building to identify fire hazards and fire precautions.

5 Review your fire risk report

We send your fire risk report via Block7. Here you can view and download the reports, mark risks as actioned, upload documentation, assign tasks to team members, create progress reports, view KPIs and more.

“Excellent company. Did an impartial, comprehensive fire door audit for our school. Have provided a couple of bits of advice since. Do consider them if you're looking to renew or replace your fire doors.”

“I made an enquiry using their clean and simple online process, and was contacted within a matter of minutes. One of their specialists was out within 2 days, booked in, punctual, and representing Pyro exceptionally well. The assessor was calm (important when talking about fire safety), professional, and efficient. Rich took up only as much of my time as he needed to to get the essential information for his assessment. Completed the survey quietly in the background, ensuring not to disturb our office staff. Long story short, we now how everything we need to be compliant, the best in the game! Thanks team Pyro Fire.”
