Fire Risk Assessments Rochdale
As a business or commercial property owner in Manchester, it is your responsibility to ensure your property is fully protected from the risk of fire by carrying out regular fire risk assessments.
Whether you need help conducting a fire risk assessment or you would like help updating a previous assessment, our team at Lanahan Risk Management Services can help with all fire safety compliance needs.
Does my business need a fire risk assessment?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, most workplaces and non domestic buildings must legally have a fire risk assessment in place. This covers all sorts of premises — from schools and warehouses to factories, licensed venues, care homes, and many other buildings that aren’t single private dwellings.
The law places the responsibility on the “responsible person”. That’s usually the owner, the employer, or whoever has control of the premises. They’re required to put suitable fire safety measures in place to reduce the likelihood of injury, loss of life, or property damage if a fire breaks out. Competent third parties can support parts of the process, but the legal responsibility remains with the responsible person.

Who is responsible for carrying out a fire risk assessment?
You may be considered responsible for fire safety if you are:
The person or organisation occupying the premises
A landlord
The property owner
An employer or business owner
If you fall into any of these categories, you’ll usually be treated as the “responsible person” under fire safety law. Where the role is shared between more than one party, everyone involved is expected to work together and make sure fire safety duties are properly managed and fire hazards are addressed.
For many businesses in Rochdale, bringing in a competent fire risk assessment provider is the simplest way to make sure nothing is missed. At Lanahan Risk Management Services, we carry out professional assessments designed to help you meet current fire safety requirements and remain compliant with the Regulatory Reform.

Why work with Lanahan Risk Management Services?
At Lanahan Risk Management Services, we deliver fire safety support that’s built around the needs of your business in Rochdale, not a one size fits all checklist.
Every site has its own layout, routines, and risks. That’s why we take the time to understand how your premises operates day to day, what your team does, where the pinch points are, and what challenges you face. With that insight, we can recommend practical fire safety precautions that make sense for your workplace and are realistic to maintain.
We’ll work alongside you to put together a clear action plan that meets your legal duties. Once we’ve discussed the cost of your fire risk assessment, we’ll confirm the scope, book a suitable time for the visit, and talk you through what will happen so you know exactly what to expect.
To keep the assessment efficient, we may ask for useful information upfront — things like existing floor plans, previous fire risk assessments, maintenance records, or any earlier compliance documentation. After the visit, you’ll receive straightforward, tailored recommendations you can put into place without creating unnecessary disruption for staff or customers.
If you employ five or more people, you’re legally required to record the findings of your fire risk assessment and keep them updated. Our accredited assessors can help you stay compliant with clear documentation and practical next steps. Take the first step and get in touch today.
