What the UK Government says about Fire Risk Assessments

As the responsible person in your business, you must carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment of the premises. This will identify what you need to do to prevent fire and keep people safe.

It can be hard to know how often ‘regularly’ is but our assessors can tell you what time frame would be appropriate for a Fire Risk Assessment review. These assessments must be carried out by a competent person with a good understanding of current fire safety legislation. If you have a very simple and small premises, it may be possible to carry out your own fire risk assessment using the guidance available from the government.

However in most cases it will be necessary to have a fire safety specialist take a look and that is where we come in.

Fire Risk Assessment FAQs for Kettering

What fire risk duties apply to Kettering employers?

Most non-domestic premises in Kettering, including distribution centres, manufacturing premises and town-centre retailers, need a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must assess the hazards and protect people who could be affected. Requirements depend on how the premises are used, not simply their size.

What should an assessment inspect?

A fire risk assessment at Kettering premises considers ignition sources, combustible materials, people at risk, warning arrangements, escape routes and current precautions. For industrial units and public-facing shops, the assessor will pay attention to the hazards arising from the actual work and building layout. The resulting findings should be understandable and actionable.

When is a reassessment required?

An assessment for a Kettering business should be kept under review and updated if it is no longer valid or if significant changes occur. Altered layouts, new processes, changes in occupancy or a fire incident can all trigger a review. There is no universal fixed annual legal renewal period for every building; the level of risk and changes on site guide the decision.

Do distribution sites need different precautions?

In Kettering, distribution centres, manufacturing premises and town-centre retailers may face very different risks. For example, industrial units and public-facing shops can present challenges unlike those in a quiet office. Fire risk assessments should consider occupancy, activities, hazardous materials, compartmentation, detection, escape arrangements and the needs of anyone who may require help evacuating.

Who can conduct a competent assessment?

The responsible person for premises in Kettering must ensure a suitable fire risk assessment is completed. They can appoint someone with appropriate competence, but responsibility for meeting legal duties remains with the relevant dutyholder. Where the site has complex activities, such as industrial units and public-facing shops, engaging an experienced assessor is particularly sensible.

How are recommended actions recorded?

A Kettering fire risk assessment can identify improvements ranging from housekeeping and staff instruction to alarm, door or escape-route concerns. Findings should be recorded and prioritised according to the risks identified. Serious problems may require prompt action; the assessment is a starting point for a practical improvement plan rather than just paperwork.
