Fire Risk Assessments Burnley
If you run a business or manage a commercial property in Burnley, you are responsible for making sure your premises are properly safeguarded against fire hazards through regular fire risk assessments.
Whether you need a completely new assessment carried out or an existing one reviewed and brought up to date, Lanahan Risk Management Services can assist you with all areas of fire safety compliance.
Does my business need a fire risk assessment?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the majority of workplaces and non-domestic buildings are required by law to have a fire risk assessment in place. This applies to a wide variety of premises, such as schools, warehouses, factories, licensed venues, care homes, and many other properties that are not considered private residences.
The duty falls to the “responsible person”, which is usually the business owner, employer, or anyone with control over the premises. They are expected to put appropriate fire safety measures in place to reduce the risk of injury, loss of life, or damage should a fire occur. While qualified third parties can assist with certain elements, the legal responsibility always remains with the responsible person.

- Assess the level of risk and take action to remove or reduce it
- Document findings, establish emergency procedures, and provide appropriate training

Who is responsible for carrying out a fire risk assessment?
You may be regarded 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 categories, you will usually be classed as the “responsible person” under fire safety legislation. In situations where responsibility is shared between more than one party, each is expected to work together to ensure fire safety duties are properly handled, and any risks are identified and addressed.
For many businesses in Burnley, appointing a competent fire risk assessment provider is often the most reliable way to make sure nothing is overlooked. At Lanahan Risk Management Services, we carry out professional assessments that are intended to help you meet current fire safety requirements and stay compliant with the Regulatory Reform.

Why work with Lanahan Risk Management Services?
At Lanahan Risk Management Services, we provide fire safety support that is shaped around the specific needs of your business in Burnley, rather than relying on a standard checklist approach.
Every premises tends to operate in its own way, with a unique layout, daily routines, and set of potential risks. Because of this, we take the time to understand how your site works on a day to day basis, what your team is responsible for, where issues are likely to arise, and any challenges you may be dealing with. From there, we can suggest practical fire safety measures that feel appropriate for your environment and manageable to maintain.
We will work closely with you to develop a clear and workable action plan that supports your legal responsibilities. Once the cost of your fire risk assessment has been agreed, we will confirm exactly what is included, arrange a suitable time for the visit, and explain the process so you have a clear idea of what will happen.
To help things run smoothly, we may request certain information in advance, such as existing floor plans, previous fire risk assessments, maintenance logs, or earlier compliance records. After the visit, you will receive clear, tailored recommendations that can be put into practice without causing unnecessary disruption to your staff or customers.
If your business employs five or more people, you are legally required to document the findings of your fire risk assessment and keep them up to date. Our accredited assessors can support you with straightforward reporting and practical next steps to help you remain compliant. Get in touch today to get started.
