Fire Risk Assessments Blackpool
As a business or commercial property owner in Blackpool, you are responsible for making sure your premises are properly protected against the risk of fire by arranging regular fire risk assessments.
Whether you need support with carrying out a new assessment or updating an existing one, the team at Lanahan Risk Management Services can assist with all aspects of fire safety compliance.
Does my business need a fire risk assessment?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, most workplaces and non-domestic buildings are legally required to have a fire risk assessment in place. This applies to a wide range of premises, from schools and warehouses to factories, licensed venues, care homes, and many other buildings that are not private homes.
The law places responsibility on the “responsible person”, who is usually the owner, employer, or the individual in control of the premises. They are expected to put appropriate fire safety measures in place to reduce the risk of injury, loss of life, or property damage in the event of a fire. While competent third parties may assist with certain aspects of the process, the legal responsibility always remains with the responsible person.

- Record findings, prepare emergency plans, and provide suitable training
- Review and update the fire risk assessment on a regular basis
Who is responsible for carrying out a fire risk assessment?
You may be classed as responsible for fire safety if you are:
The individual or organisation occupying the premises
- A landlord
- The property owner
- An employer or business owner
If you fall into any of these groups, you will usually be regarded as the “responsible person” under fire safety legislation. Where this role is shared between more than one party, everyone involved is expected to work together to ensure fire safety responsibilities are properly managed and potential hazards are dealt with.
For many businesses in Blackpool, appointing a competent fire risk assessment provider is often the easiest way to make sure nothing is overlooked. 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.

Every site has its own layout, routines, and risks.

With this insight, we can recommend practical fire safety measures that make sense for your workplace and are realistic to maintain.
We will work closely with you to develop a clear action plan that meets your legal responsibilities. Once we have discussed the cost of your fire risk assessment, we will confirm the scope, arrange a suitable time for the visit, and explain the process so you know exactly what to expect.
To keep the assessment running smoothly, we may request helpful information in advance, such as existing floor plans, previous fire risk assessments, maintenance records, or earlier compliance documents. After the visit, you will receive clear, tailored recommendations that can be implemented without causing unnecessary disruption to staff or customers.
If you employ five or more people, you are legally required to record the findings of your fire risk assessment and keep them up to date.
