Fire Risk Assessment
Professional fire risk assessment services
Fire safety is a legal requirement and a vital responsibility for every business and property owner. At FireCare, we provide professional Fire Risk Assessments and a comprehensive fire safety plan, ensuring your premises remain compliant, protected, and prepared for any fire-related risks.
What is a fire risk assessment?
A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a structured evaluation of a building’s fire hazards, risks, and safety measures. It helps to identify potential fire hazards, assess the likelihood of a fire occurring, and determine the best actions to minimise risks and ensure safety. Our certified fire risk assessors conduct detailed inspections to ensure your premises comply with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, giving you confidence that your property, staff, and visitors are protected.
