What are your legal responsibilities ?
When it comes to fire, there are certain legal responsibilities and obligations that you must abide by. They’re made to keep the buildings and the people within them as safe as possible.
One of the most well known bits of legislation is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This states that all non-domestic buildings are required to have a fire risk assessment completed. We believe every building should do them willingly and voluntarily however this legislation makes it a priority.
To go hand-in-hand with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, there must also be a specific ‘Responsible Person (RP) selected at each business or organisation. This person’s role in relation to fire safety is to take control of booking the fire risk assessment in, maintaining all the details and lots more too which we will explain at our fire risk assessment session. Our portfolio has lots of different projects including the likes of offices, warehouses, HMO’s, shops and everything in between too.
Fire Risk Assessments Doncaster - Key Points
Identifying the fire hazards – Some fire hazards are more obvious than others and that’s why it’s handy having a company of professionals come to see your building. When we carry out a risk assessment we will create a log of all the possible risks and hazards and make you aware of them. It’s important to know this information because you’ll then be aware of them and can build necessary plans in the future. Some examples of common fire hazards that we see on a regular basis are; pieces of equipment, machinery, chemicals, fluids, kitchen appliances and way more.
Identifying those most at risk – Once you have familiarized yourself with potential fire hazards, it is crucial to identify individuals who are likely to be in close proximity to them. Maintaining awareness and fostering open communication regarding fire safety are paramount.
Evaluate, remove and protect the risk – This cottons onto the previous point slightly but once you’re aware of the possible hazards as a team, you can begin to build contingency plans and add improvements to your building. The plans we are referring to, are plans that allow for controlling fires and cutting down the chance of them even happening in the first place.
Examples of this sort of thing are that we would produce a fire extinguisher plan, check service dates on machinery, look at fire compartmentation and more.
Record, plan, inform and train (if required) – During the entire fire risk assessment, we will be making notes and tracking data so we can put it into a full report for you afterwards. This is good because you’ll then have everything you need to know in one place. We’ll also provide various documents that act as a piece of evidence that you’ve actually had a fire risk assessment completed.
Review regularly – Now you’ve completed a fire risk assessment, it’ll come around quickly again before you need to do another one. For this reason, we offer to keep your details on file and send you annual updates via email or text for review.
How much does a Fire Risk Assessment cost ?
For fire risk assessments in Doncaster, the price is largely related to the size of the building.

We ultimately want to do a proper and thorough job.

Fire Risk Assessments Doncaster - FAQs
A fire risk assessment is crucial for your business due to many reasons. Firstly, it is a legal requirement and failure to comply is likely to lead to heavy prosecutions, poor fire safety, and damaged business reputation. However, fire risk assessments are much more than just a box-ticking exercise. The completion of comprehensive fire risk assessments lead to potentially reduced insurance premiums, improved employee well-being, and increased stakeholder confidence.
If there are any significant changes or renovations with your premises, such as structural alterations, you must review your fire risk assessment document. You can call us right away to review to see if any changes need to be made to maximise fire safety in-line with those changes. It’s always good to be proactive..
The frequency of reviewing and updating a fire risk assessment depends on various factors, including the nature of your business, any changes in your premises or operations, and applicable legal requirements. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend conducting an annual review of your fire risk assessment for best practice.
A fire risk assessment should ideally be conducted by a competent person or a team with the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience in fire safety. Fire safety isn’t something that should be taken care of and therefore, you should always seek an external and professional company, just like AHFS, to conduct your fire risk assessment for you.
On average, a fire risk assessment typically takes between 2 to 4 hours to complete. However, it’s important to note that the actual duration may vary based on the complexity of the premises, the number of hazards to evaluate, and the level of detail required for an accurate assessment. To obtain a more precise estimate for your specific situation, it is recommended to consult with our team.
