What Is a Fire Risk Assessment?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, every business is legally required to carry out a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment.

Unlike previous fire safety laws, current legislation is non-prescriptive. That means:

• Authorities won’t tell you exactly what to do — they’ll simply identify non-compliance.

• They might suggest a solution, but that may not be the best or most cost-effective option for your premises.​

That’s Where We Come In

We don’t just point out problems — we provide solutions.

When you choose Emergency Response Training Ltd, we will:

• Meet you on-site at a pre-arranged time to understand your operations.

• Conduct a thorough Fire Risk Assessment tailored to your premises.

• Provide a written report within 4 working days.

• Offer verbal and practical support to help you implement changes.

In Why Fire Risk Assessments Matter

• A fire can cost a small business over £20,000 in direct damages — not including lost income, staff disruption, and reputational harm.

• According to government statistics, more than 60% of businesses never recover after a major fire.

• The cost of a professional risk assessment? Just a fraction of the potential loss.

• ​

Concerned? Unsure? Been Contacted by the Fire Authority?

• Have you received a letter or visit from the Fire & Rescue Service?

• Have they raised issues that you’re unsure how to address?

• Do you have questions or concerns about your legal duties?

We can help. With our background in enforcement, we understand both sides — and we’ll help you navigate your responsibilities with confidence and clarity.
