Fire Risk Assessments

A fire risk assessment is one of the most important responsibilities of any organisation, helping to protect people, property and business operations while ensuring compliance with fire safety legislation.

At Total Fire Group, our fire risk assessment methodology has been developed, refined and enhanced over more than 20 years of delivering fire safety services across a wide range of sectors. While our approach is founded on the recognised principles of PAS 79, we have evolved our own assessment process and reporting framework to provide clients with clear, practical and actionable guidance that goes beyond a standard template.

Our experienced fire risk assessors utilise a bespoke web-based assessment platform that has been specifically designed to ensure consistency, accuracy and transparency across every project. Regardless of their professional background, all assessors undergo extensive training in our methodology, systems and reporting standards before conducting assessments on behalf of our clients.

This rigorous approach ensures that findings are recorded consistently, risks are assessed accurately, and recommendations are presented in a format that is easy to understand and implement. The result is a comprehensive fire risk assessment that not only identifies areas of non-compliance but also supports informed decision-making and ongoing risk management.

A Practical Approach to Fire Safety Compliance

Our fire risk assessments are designed to help the Responsible Person fulfil their legal obligations under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. During the assessment, we identify findings, evaluate existing fire safety measures and highlight any deficiencies that could increase the risk to life in the event of a fire.

Where breaches of fire safety legislation are identified, these are clearly documented and prioritised according to their level of risk. We provide practical recommendations, along with suggested timescales for remediation, enabling organisations to plan and implement improvements effectively.

However, our assessments do not focus solely on legislative compliance. We also consider wider fire-related risks that may fall outside the direct scope of the Fire Safety Order but could still have a significant impact on your property, assets, operations or business continuity. By taking this broader view, we help organisations better understand their overall fire risk profile and make informed decisions to protect their people and business.

More Than Just a Fire Risk Assessment

For many organisations, a fire risk assessment is only the first step in an effective fire risk management strategy. Ongoing support is often required to address findings, maintain compliance and respond to changing operational requirements.

That's why we offer a comprehensive fire consultancy service that extends beyond the initial assessment. Our team can provide continued guidance, support and specialist expertise to help organisations manage fire safety across single sites or extensive property portfolios.

This service is particularly valuable for organisations with multiple premises, complex fire safety challenges, or situations where liaison with the Fire and Rescue Service is required following inspections, enforcement notices or other regulatory actions.
