Product Overview

Retail shop owners are legally responsible for ensuring that appropriate fire safety measures are in place in their business. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that fire risk assessments must be carried out in businesses and organisations by a Responsible Person. Shop owners do not always have additional staff that they can assign to be a Competent Person which can properly assess the fire risks and define the corrective actions needed, so the fire risk assessment can be outsourced by Safelincs.

Our expert assessors will attend your site at a time that suits you. All the advice is bespoke and all solutions for reducing, eliminating, and mitigating against the risk of fire are offered with full knowledge of fire safety legislation and best practice. In addition, you get FREE access to our Online FRA Portal where you can keep track of the control measures you have in place for your shop.

Your fire risk assessment will take into account details such as:

  • The difference between fire safety for employer, employees, and customers
  • Current fire hazards and how to eliminate or reduce them
  • Legal requirements for fire detection and warning systems, escape routes, and emergency lighting
  • Required and recommended fire fighting equipment or systems for your shops
  • Service schedules for fire safety provisions – alarms systems, fire suppression, and lighting
  • Periods and triggers for review of the fire risk assessment and control measures

Any equipment that is recommended through our risk assessment service (except emergency lighting and illuminated signage) can be purchased from Safelincs at an exclusive 10% discount. And we guarantee not to over-prescribe – you can obtain your necessary services and equipment from anywhere of your choosing.

Please Note: Prices are for UK mainland locations only. FRA services are available in the following locations with Price On Application: Central London, Scottish Highlands & Islands, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Channel Islands. Call today on 0800 612 4827 or email us for more information.

FRA Details

Our trained and professional fire risk assessors will inspect your site in line with all of your requirements for safety, hygiene, privacy, and confidentiality. Their careful inspection will identify existing and potential risks, and produce a detailed fire risk assessment report which will clearly state the solutions needed to improve the fire safety within your business or organisation. We provide these digitally to save on paper but a printed copy is available upon request. The FRA service also includes access to all of your information through our sophisticated online portal – more details on this FREE system below.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that fire risk assessments must be carried out in businesses and organisations by a responsible person. Most companies do not have personnel with the required skills and competence to properly assess the risks and define the necessary corrective actions, so the fire risk assessment can be outsourced to Safelincs.

FAQs (3)
Q. Which type of organisation are your fire risk assessments suitable for?
A.

Our fire risk assessments are suitable for any business premises and organisations, however big or small. Different industries and building types, including public facilities, educational facilities, small community premises, care homes, public houses and restaurants, offices and warehousing facilities, retail premises, HMOs, and small blocks of flats can all be covered by our fire risk assessments.

Q. How long will my fire risk assessment be valid for?
A.

There is no definitive answer to how often you should carry out a fire risk assessment, or how long a fire risk assessment is valid for. Government guidelines state that your risks should be regularly reviewed. Our recommendation is that you should review your fire safety, in particular the fire risks, annually and carry out a full fire risk assessment if there are any changes within your business or organisation. This should include if there is a change to someone’s role or if someone new has started, if new equipment is introduced, or if the structural plan or the intended use of the building changes.

Q. Who needs to have a written fire risk assessment?
A.

All businesses, no matter how big or small, must have a written fire risk assessment in place. This has been a requirement since October 2023, when new legislation was introduced.
