Fire Risk Assessments
Fire Risk Assessments Stay compliant. Stay protected.
A fire risk assessment isn’t just a legal obligation — it’s the foundation of an effective fire safety strategy. At Central Southern Security, we carry out comprehensive fire risk assessments to help property owners, businesses, and landlords meet the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and ensure their premises are properly protected.
Why a fire risk assessment matters
Every non-domestic building in the UK must have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment carried out by a competent person. This process identifies potential fire hazards, evaluates the level of risk, and recommends control measures to keep people safe and reduce fire damage. A clear, up-to-date fire risk assessment is essential for:
Legal compliance with UK Fire Safety Regulations
Insurance validation and duty-of-care protection
Accurate system design (fire alarm, emergency lighting, signage)
Peace of mind knowing you’ve met your safety obligations
Our process
We follow a structured, transparent process to ensure accuracy and compliance:
1. Site Visit & Inspection
Our qualified assessor visits your premises to identify hazards, ignition sources, and potential risks to people and property.
2. Risk Evaluation
Each finding is reviewed to determine the likelihood and potential consequences of a fire incident.
3. Recommendations & Action Plan
We produce a practical report outlining all required actions — from improving escape routes to upgrading alarm coverage.
Documentation & Certification
You receive a clear, formatted report with photos, findings, and priority-based recommendations.
Follow-Up Support
We can implement or oversee the required improvements — including fire alarm installation, emergency lighting, and system servicing.
