Fire Risk Assessments – The Hidden Risks Many Businesses Overlook

Dec 1, 2025 | Advice

The problem: fire risks are often misunderstood or ignored.

Fire risk assessments are a legal requirement for almost all non domestic premises, yet they are frequently treated as a tick box exercise. Many businesses rely on outdated assessments, generic templates, or internal staff who lack proper fire safety training.

  • Common issues include:
  • Assessments that have not been reviewed for years
  • Failure to identify changes such as new equipment, layouts, or staff numbers
  • Poor documentation that would not stand up to inspection
  • A lack of clear actions or follow up once risks are identified

These oversights can leave people at risk and expose business owners and directors to serious legal consequences. In the event of a fire, an inadequate fire risk assessment can invalidate insurance and lead to enforcement action, fines, or prosecution.
