What information should I have ready?
Have details of the premises, its activities and the people who use it. Gather your observations about fire hazards, escape routes and existing precautions, together with relevant emergency arrangements and records. Specific information helps you prepare a document that you can meaningfully check against the premises.
GOV.UK assessment guidanceCan I carry out my own fire risk assessment?
You may be able to assess straightforward premises yourself if you have the relevant knowledge and expertise. GOV.UK advises appointing a competent person when you lack the expertise or time. Larger or more complex premises may need specialist help.
GOV.UK guidance on competent assistanceDo I need a written assessment with fewer than five employees?
In England and Wales, all responsible persons covered by the Fire Safety Order must record their fire risk assessment in full and their fire-safety arrangements. The previous five-employee recording threshold was removed in October 2023. Scotland and Northern Ireland have different recording rules; follow the guidance for your nation and premises.
Home Office recording requirementsHow often should a fire risk assessment be reviewed?
Review it regularly and whenever changes could affect its validity. In England and Wales, the Fire Safety Order does not prescribe one review interval for every premises. Home Office guidance recognises an annual review as good practice for small, simple premises. Changes to the layout, occupants, activities or precautions can require an earlier review.
