A fire risk assessment is a systematic evaluation of your premises and the people who use them, from a fire prevention perspective. It’s about understanding and identifying the potential risks, then improving your fire safety precautions to keep people safe.
Why do it?
A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement. If you are responsible for a building, for example an employer, owner or occupier of premises that isn’t a 'single private dwelling' (a private home), you need to make sure a suitably competent person completes a Fire Risk Assessment. It is your duty to identify fire risks and hazards in your premises and take appropriate action.
In addition, you must make a record of the findings of your fire risk assessment. Your fire risk assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever significant changes have been made that would have an impact on it. It’s good business sense as well as a legal requirement, often businesses don’t recover after a fire, and effective fire prevention starts with properly understanding the risks.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 made it a legal requirement from 23 January 2023 for responsible persons for all multi-occupied residential buildings in England with storeys over 11 metres in height to:
The regulations also require responsible persons to provide to residents of all multi-occupied residential buildings with two or more sets of domestic premises (that have common parts) information on the importance of fire doors to a building’s fire safety.
Fire doors are an important feature with any premises as they assist in providing safe escape routes and enclosures to prevent the spread of smoke and fire. A Responsible Person should ensure that they nominate persons to undertake inspections of the fire doors and escape routes in their building.
At MCT Fire Safety Consultancy, we can undertake Fire Door Inspections and provide reports on the condition of current fire resisting doors with any required recommendations.
