Why Does Fire Risk Assessment matter?
A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is not just a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005—it’s a critical step in protecting lives and property. Whether you manage a block of flats or a commercial workspace, an FRA identifies potential fire risks and ensures that effective fire safety measures are implemented and maintained.
Key Benefits of an FRA

- Occupant Safety: Maintains clear emergency protocols and functional escape routes.
- Insurance Documentation: Provides proof of compliance for insurance claims and audits.
- Tenant Confidence: Demonstrates your commitment to safety, boosting trust and satisfaction.
