How we can help
Are You Competent?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that the Responsible Person should either undertake the fire risk assessment themselves or appoint a Competent Person to undertake the task.
The Competent Person undertaking the fire risk assessment must: –
- Understand the relevant fire safety legislation
- Have appropriate education, training, knowledge and experience in the principles of fire safety
- Have an understanding of fire development and human behaviour in fire
- Posses a detailed understand of fire hazards, fire risks and relevant factors associated with occupants at special risk within the various purpose groups of premises
You can undertake the assessment yourself, if you have the time and expertise to do it. But for an untrained person a fire risk assessment can be time consuming and may not meet the statutory requirements. You may want to leave it to the professionals.
The Department
- We have developed a comprehensive fire risk assessment programme that is thorough in detail, easy to follow and meets the statutory provisions to enable employers to conform with the requirements of the RRO.
- Our team of highly qualified fire safety consultants will conduct a comprehensive fire risk assessment of your premises with minimum disruption to your business operations.
- To date, we have successfully completed close to 10,000 fire risk assessments.

- Because we’re highly skilled in the fire risk assessment field we’re very thorough and identify all risks that the untrained eye would invariably miss.
- The solutions we offer are unbiased, cost-effective and will save you money in the long-term.
- We are one of the few fully ‘INDEPENDENT’ fire consultancy companies in the country and do not present solutions with products that we offer.
- The devastation and disruption to your business that a serious fire invariably causes can be greatly reduced.
- It gives you the peace of mind that you have complied with the law.
- It will prevent your company from suffering negative press publicity associated with non-compliance with the law.
- It can avoid you considerable fines or even help you keep out of jail!
Our Fire Risk Assessments
The fire risk assessments undertaken by our staff are compliant with the recommendations of PAS 79-1:2020 and PAS 79-2:2020, the (Publicly Available Specification) which has been amended to meet the requirements of the RRO and also follows the Health and Safety Executive’s five step risk assessment process.
The fire risk assessments we undertake are bespoke to each premises and not based on computer ‘tick lists’ with prescribed recommendations; whereby in comparison our reports are produced in a format which is easy to comprehend, detailed in content and based on the principal of reducing risks at minimum cost and disruption. As stated above, the fire risk assessment reports are thorough in detail, even when dealing with high risk processes (such as flammable paint spraying and filling / decanting of flammable gases), but are simple to follow. We have achieved this over a number of years through careful consideration of clients’ needs and providing reports where the user can turn to one section of the report and read in list format exactly what requires attention, where and when. Furthermore, over the past 5 years we have developed a groundbreaking online Fire Portal that is utilised by clients with high quantity property portfolios.
Another benefit of appointing Fire Safety Solutions Ltd is that we do not just provide the service of the fire risk assessment, but we provide help and assistance in matters such as alternative fire safety solutions, selecting a competent contractor, remedial action solution assistance, fire safety design evaluation and validation, construction phase fire inspections, preoccupancy fire inspections and Type 3 fire inspections.
