Fire Risk Assessments St Helens
Fire risk assessments play an essential role in helping to protect you, everyone on your premises, and your property from the risks associated with fire.
If you are based in or around St Helens, our team at Lanahan Risk Management Services can support you with carrying out fire risk assessments and implementing practical measures that are specifically tailored to your business needs.
Are fire risk assessments a legal requirement?
Fire risk assessments are a legal requirement for all businesses under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
There are many types of workplaces and organisations that are required to have a fire risk assessment in place, including:
- Schools
- Warehouses
- Factories
- Care homes
- And many other non-single occupancy properties
As a business owner, you are legally defined as the “responsible person”. This means you must take appropriate steps to reduce the risk of death, injury, or property damage in the event of a fire. You are allowed to appoint a competent person, either within your organisation or an external specialist, to assist with carrying out tasks such as completing the assessment. However, the ultimate legal responsibility will always remain with you.

- Identify potential hazards
