Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) in Manchester

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 remains in effect, but the Fire Safety Act 2021 will soon supersede it, addressing the shortcomings highlighted by the Grenfell Tower fire. If you are searching for a Fire Risk Assessment in Manchester, you have come to the right place. We provide IFSM registered fire risk assessors who are qualified to conduct thorough assessments.

All non-domestic premises in England and Wales are legally required to have a fire risk assessment. This includes various types of properties such as HMOs, common areas of flats, holiday lets, businesses, care homes, and doctor's surgeries.

What Does a Fire Risk Assessment Involve?

A fire risk assessment involves a comprehensive inspection of a property to identify risks and hazards. We provide a detailed report outlining our findings, including images of areas of concern. Additionally, we create a fire action plan that specifies a timeframe for addressing identified issues.

We will identify potential fire hazards and either eliminate them or implement control measures. These hazards may include:

Electrical sources of ignition
Smoking materials
Arson risks
Portable heaters
Outside contractors
Dangerous substances

Fire Protection Measures

Means of escape
Emergency lighting
Fire alarms appropriate for the premises

Management of Fire Safety

This section focuses on the management of fire safety procedures, including:

Training and drills

Risk Rating

Finally, we provide a risk rating based on the identified hazards, potential consequences, and risk to life assessments. Each assessment is tailored to the specific circumstances of the property.
