The legislation you
need to know.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is the primary legislation governing fire safety in non-domestic premises across England and Wales. It places a legal duty on the responsible person — the employer, building owner, landlord, or managing agent — to ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out and kept current.

Since October 2023, all fire risk assessments must be recorded in writing regardless of the size of the organisation. Informal or verbal assessments are no longer sufficient for any premises.

Failure to comply can result in enforcement notices, prohibition notices closing your premises immediately, and criminal prosecution. Penalties include unlimited fines and up to two years’ imprisonment. Failing to maintain a valid assessment can also invalidate your building insurance.

Common questions.

Everything you need to know about fire risk assessments in the UK.

Who needs a fire risk assessment? +
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, virtually every non-domestic premises in England and Wales requires a fire risk assessment. This includes offices, shops, restaurants, pubs, hotels, warehouses, factories, care homes, schools, churches, blocks of flats (communal areas), HMOs, and any other building where people work, visit, or sleep that is not a single private dwelling. The responsible person is legally required to ensure a suitable and sufficient assessment is in place.

How often does a fire risk assessment need to be reviewed? +
Best practice is to review your assessment at least annually and commission a full new assessment every three to five years. You are also legally required to review it whenever there is a significant change to your premises — alterations to layout, building works, a fire incident, or a change in the people using the building. Higher-risk premises such as care homes and HMOs should be reviewed annually as a minimum.

What qualifications should a fire risk assessor have? +
A competent assessor should hold membership of a recognised professional body — the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) or the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM) — and ideally be listed on the Third Party Fire Risk Assessors Register (TFRAR). All assessors on our platform meet these standards. Assessments should be carried out in accordance with PAS 79-1:2020.

What is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005? +
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, commonly known as the Fire Safety Order or RRO, is the primary legislation governing fire safety in non-domestic premises in England and Wales. It placed a duty on the responsible person to carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment, implement fire safety measures, and keep the assessment under review. It has since been supplemented by the Fire Safety Act 2021, the Building Safety Act 2022, and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.

Can I do my own fire risk assessment? +
The Fire Safety Order does not require you to use an external assessor — it requires the assessment to be suitable and sufficient and the person carrying it out to be competent. For anything beyond a very simple low-risk premises, using a qualified professional is strongly recommended. An inadequate self-assessment can leave you personally liable in the event of a fire or enforcement action.

How quickly can I get an assessment arranged? +
We aim to arrange assessments within 5 to 10 working days. For urgent requirements — HMO licence renewals, insurance deadlines, or enforcement notices — please indicate this in your enquiry and we will do our best to accommodate a faster turnaround.
