A Detailed Assessment Built Around Your Premises

Our Commercial Fire Risk Assessments are built around the actual building, occupancy, fire hazards, people at risk and fire precautions in place. SCM Fire & Safety provides clear, practical assessments designed to help responsible persons understand their fire-safety position and required actions.

Commercial Fire Risk Assessments should be specific to the premises, its use and the people who may be affected. Our approach focuses on practical findings, clear priorities and a report that can be used by the responsible person to manage fire-safety actions.

01

Fire Hazard Review

Relevant ignition sources, combustible materials, activities and other potential fire hazards are considered.
02

People At Risk

The assessment considers occupants, visitors and people who may require additional consideration during an emergency.
03

Means Of Escape

Escape routes, final exits, travel arrangements, signage and relevant evacuation considerations are reviewed.
04

Fire Protection Measures

Existing fire alarms, emergency lighting, fire doors, extinguishers and related precautions can form part of the assessment.
05

Management Arrangements

Fire procedures, testing, maintenance, training, records and other management controls are considered.
06

Written Action Plan

Significant findings and recommended actions are presented clearly so improvements can be planned and prioritised.

More Than A Tick-Box Exercise

A useful Commercial Fire Risk Assessment should give the responsible person a clear picture of the fire risks within their premises, the adequacy of existing fire precautions and what needs to happen next. Our Commercial Fire Risk Assessments are designed to be practical and understandable, with clear findings rather than unnecessarily complicated wording.

Fire Safety Responsibilities

Fire Risk Assessments & The Fire Safety Order

Commercial Fire Risk Assessments are important for many non-domestic premises in England and Wales, the responsible person must ensure that a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out and kept under review. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 forms a key part of the fire-safety framework applying to non-domestic premises. The assessment should be appropriate to the building and its use rather than relying on a generic checklist.

For official guidance on workplace fire safety and fire risk assessment responsibilities, see the GOV.UK workplace fire safety guidance.

Typical Areas Considered

  • Sources of ignition, fuel and oxygen
  • People who may be especially at risk
  • Means of escape and final exits
  • Fire detection and warning systems

  • Fire doors and compartmentation observations
  • Firefighting equipment
  • Fire safety signage
  • Staff training and evacuation procedures
  • Inspection, testing and maintenance records
