Fire Risk Assessments
Protecting Your Business and the People Within It
Every business has a responsibility to comply with the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005, which requires the findings of fire risk assessments to be properly recorded and acted upon.
At SLB Compliance, we know that fire safety is not just about meeting legal requirements. It is about protecting your people, your property, and your business's future.
Our fire risk assessments are carried out with a practical, common-sense approach, helping you clearly understand the risks on your premises and the actions required to manage them. The aim is simple. To give you clarity, confidence, and peace of mind that your fire safety responsibilities are being properly addressed.
All assessments are completed using the nationally recognised PAS 79 methodology and follow the latest BS 7972 guidance for residential premises. Your reports are provided through our dedicated platforms Firehub and SafetyCulture, making it easy for you to view findings, track actions, and manage fire safety across your buildings.
Why Fire Risk Assessments Matter
Fire can occur in any building. Whether it is a block of flats, office, shop, warehouse, or mixed use premises, understanding the risks and how to manage them is essential.
Under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005, responsible persons are required to assess the risk of fire and ensure suitable measures are in place to protect occupants and the building.
A fire risk assessment helps identify potential fire hazards, weaknesses in fire safety measures, and areas where improvements may be required. More importantly, it provides a clear plan to help you manage fire safety and reduce the likelihood of fire or the impact it could have.
For residential buildings, the importance is even greater. Fire safety measures such as fire doors, compartmentation, alarm systems, and escape routes play a critical role in protecting residents and allowing them to evacuate safely if a fire occurs.
At SLB Compliance, the aim is not simply to produce a report. It is to help you understand the risks within your building and provide clear, practical advice on how those risks can be managed.
Keeping Fire Safety Simple with SLB Compliance
Fire safety should not feel complicated or overwhelming. Our approach is straightforward, practical, and focused on helping you understand your building and the steps needed to keep people safe.
Here is how we work:
We carry out a thorough but non-intrusive inspection of your building, reviewing the areas that influence fire safety and how the premises are used.
We identify potential fire hazards and conditions that could contribute to a fire starting or spreading.
We consider how a fire could affect the building and the people inside, and whether the current safety measures are suitable.
We review how fire safety is being managed, including procedures, maintenance arrangements, and general housekeeping.
Where improvements may be needed, we provide clear and practical guidance, helping you understand what actions may be appropriate and why.
Importantly, the report is not the end of the conversation. SLB Compliance provides ongoing support after the assessment, so if you need help understanding the findings, prioritising actions, or discussing recommendations, we are always available to assist.
