Fire Risk Assessment
Protecting people, property, and productivity.
Compliance made clear. Safety made simple.
If you’re responsible for a workplace, rented building, or public space, you need a Fire Risk Assessment by law. But beyond ticking boxes, it’s about protecting people and reducing the risk of costly, avoidable incidents.
At York Green, we don’t just deliver reports — we help you understand what matters and what to do next. Our assessments are clear, practical, and tailored to your building and operations.
What is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A Fire Risk Assessment identifies fire hazards in your premises, the people at risk, and the steps needed to reduce the likelihood and impact of a fire.
It’s a legal duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 for:
-
Employers
-
Landlords and property managers
-
Responsible persons for public and commercial buildings
And now, following updated legislation, residential blocks and small businesses are under greater scrutiny too.
What’s included in a Fire Risk Assessment?
Our competent fire assessors will:
-
Identify sources of ignition, fuel, and oxygen
-
Assess people at risk — including vulnerable occupants
-
Review fire detection and alarm systems
-
Check emergency routes, signage, and lighting
-
Evaluate fire-fighting equipment and maintenance
-
Provide a written Fire Risk Assessment with a clear action plan
We’ll explain the findings in plain language and help you prioritise what needs to be done.
Who needs a Fire Risk Assessment?
You do — if any of these apply:
-
Run a business or commercial premises
Shops, factories, offices, and warehouses all need a documented Fire Risk Assessment, even if you're a small team.
-
Manage a rented property or HMO
Landlords and managing agents have a legal duty to assess and control fire risks in communal areas and shared accommodation.
-
Operate public or community buildings
Whether it’s a school, care home, church, or village hall — if people gather, you need to make sure they’re safe.
-
Employ five or more people
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires your assessment to be written down. It also becomes a key document for insurance or enforcement visits.
-
Whenever anything changes
You’ll also need a fresh Fire Risk Assessment whenever something changes — like a new layout, staff, process, or use of the building — as those changes can introduce new risks.
