Fire Risk Assessment For Offices, HMO’s & Schools in Birmingham, Leicester, Coventry and Warwickshire.

Which buildings require a Fire Risk Assessment?

We provide comprehensive fire risk assessments for landlords, offices and schools. We are qualified and equipped with the knowledge required to ensure that your premises is safe for everyone who uses it, and that you are compliant with all local regulations. Based in Birmingham, we provide assessments and certifications for offices and landlords across the entire West Midlands area, including Warwickshire. A fire risk assessment is required by the Fire Safety Order to assess fire safety risks relevant to both workplaces and buildings with 2 or more sets of domestic premises. It is the duty of the responsible person to ensure that this is carried out, although they may appoint someone on their behalf, such as a competent fire risk assessor, to carry it out.

Legal requirements of the Fire Safety Act

Section 1 of the Fire Safety Act clarifies that where a building contains 2 or more sets of domestic premises the responsible person must take account of structure, external walls and flat entrance doors in a fire risk assessment. The Fire Safety Act amends article 6 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order Act 2005 in this regard. Section 3 of the Fire Safety Act makes clear that if a responsible person has followed the article 50 commencement guidance, which can also include use of the Fire Risk Assessment Prioritisation Tool, then they may then be able to use evidence of this compliance to demonstrate that they have met with their obligations under the Fire Safety Order (specifically the elements clarified by the Fire Safety Act). If a responsible person has not complied with the guidance or the prioritisation tool they may need to provide alternative evidence of how they have complied with this aspect of their Fire Safety Order obligations.
