Fire risk assessments for businesses across Kent. We help you meet your legal duties under the Fire Safety Order, protect your people, and produce clear documentation that stands up to scrutiny.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for any non-domestic premises must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out and kept up to date. This applies to offices, workshops, retail premises, warehouses, and any workplace open to employees or the public.
Failure to have a fire risk assessment in place can result in enforcement action, prohibition notices, fines, or prosecution. ISOHS provides professional fire risk assessments across Kent carried out by a qualified, competent assessor.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the "responsible person" — typically the employer, owner, or occupier of the premises — must ensure a fire risk assessment is carried out. It must be done by a competent person. Many businesses appoint an external fire risk assessor to ensure the assessment is thorough, independent, and meets legal requirements.
A fire risk assessment must be reviewed whenever there is reason to believe it is no longer valid — for example, after a change in occupancy, layout, use, or following a fire-related incident. As a general rule, most business premises should review their assessment at least annually. ISOHS can manage your review schedule as part of an ongoing support arrangement.
Without a fire risk assessment, you are in breach of the Fire Safety Order 2005. The fire authority can issue an enforcement notice requiring you to carry one out, or a prohibition notice preventing use of the premises if there is serious risk to life. Failure to comply can result in prosecution and significant fines.
