Fire safety isn’t just a legal requirement
Fire safety is one of the most critical areas of compliance for any business.
But for many organisations, it becomes:
-
Overcomplicated
-
Poorly understood
-
Treated as a one-off task
In reality, fire safety needs ongoing management, visibility and clarity — especially in multi-site or higher-risk environments.

Fire Safety FAQs
How often should we complete a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA)?
The frequency of your Fire Risk Assessment depends on your building type and the level of fire risk. You must keep a written record of your fire risk assessment. As a guide, most organisations should review their FRA every 1–3 years. If you aren’t going to complete this task yourself, it is essential that, as the responsible person, you appoint a ‘competent person’ to do it for you.
You should also arrange a review by a competent person:
-
If you believe the assessment is no longer valid
-
After any significant changes to your building, layout, or activities
-
If a fire has occurred
-
Within a timeframe defined by your responsible person
We can undertake or review fire risk assessments for all industries in line with PAS 79:2020, BS 9792: 2025 and current legislative requirements.
What is a fire safety audit, and how often should it be done?
A fire safety audit (or inspection) helps you check that your fire safety management system is working as it should. It reviews your control measures and whether your emergency procedures would be effective in a real situation.
Some elements can be built into your regular workplace inspections, including checks on fire extinguishers, escape routes, fire doors, signage, and emergency lighting.
What fire safety training do our staff need?
Fire safety training ensures your team knows how to prevent fires and respond safely if one happens. We recommend a combination of:
-
Fire safety awareness training – For all staff, covering prevention, responsibilities, and emergency procedures
-
Fire extinguisher training – Staff should understand how extinguishers work, if they are expected to use them
-
Fire warden / marshal training – For designated staff, including evacuations, checking areas, supporting vulnerable people, and liaising with emergency services
-
Fire drills – Ideally every 6 months, used to test your evacuation process and identify improvements
