Fire Risk Assessments Southport
Fire risk assessments are a key part of keeping you, anyone on your premises, and your property safe from the potential dangers of fire.
If you are located in or around the Southport area, our team at Lanahan Risk Management Services can assist with conducting fire risk assessments and putting practical measures in place that are tailored to the needs of your business.
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.
Examples of workplaces and organisations that must have a fire risk assessment in place include:
- Schools
- Warehouses
- Factories
- Care homes
- And many other non-single occupancy properties
As a business owner, you are classed as the “responsible person” in the eyes of the law. This means you are required to take suitable measures to minimise the risk of death, injury, or damage that could result from a fire. While you can bring in a competent individual, whether that’s a member of your team or an external specialist, to help with tasks such as completing an assessment, the overall legal responsibility remains with you.

At Lanahan Risk Management Services, we provide fire risk assessments for a broad range of businesses in and around the Southport area. Our focus is on helping you safeguard both your organisation and the people within it, while offering clear advice and, where required, practical training for you and your team.
As part of our approach, we carry out a thorough inspection of your premises to identify potential fire risks and offer recommendations that are suited to your specific circumstances, rather than applying a one size fits all solution.
Our fire risk assessment process follows current legislation and is based on five key stages designed to keep your premises safe:
- Identify potential hazards
- Identify who may be at risk
- Evaluate, eliminate, or reduce the risks
- Record findings, develop emergency procedures, and provide any necessary training
- Regularly review and update the fire risk assessment
