A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a legally required, written document for non-domestic premises that identifies fire hazards, evaluates risks to people, and outlines necessary safety measures. A Fire Risk Assessment is a Legal Requirement. Employers, owners, or occupiers of workplaces, and common areas of residential buildings must ensure a competent person completes a Fire Risk Assessment. From 1st October 2023, ALL premises regardless of size and number of employees must conduct an up-to-date Fire Risk Assessment and record all of the findings.
