One of the Leading Fire Risk Assessment Companies in the UK: Tower Fire
A fire risk assessment is a legal duty for almost all non-domestic premises across the UK. Whether you run an office, manage residential blocks, operate a healthcare facility, or oversee a construction site, you must identify fire hazards, assess risk levels, and put suitable fire safety measures in place.
Under “Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO in England and Wales, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, and the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006, the “responsible person” must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is completed, maintained, and reviewed regularly.
Non-compliance can lead to enforcement notices, prosecution, unlimited fines, or imprisonment in serious cases. Insurers may also reject claims where fire safety compliance and risk assessment records cannot be evidenced.
As one of the established fire risk assessment companies in the UK, Tower Fire Group provides professional assessments aligned with recognised fire safety legislation, industry guidance, and best-practice documentation standards. Our approach focuses on accuracy, accountability, clear reporting, and practical recommendations that help organisations demonstrate compliance and reduce fire risk.
We carry out fire risk assessments across a wide range of premises, including commercial buildings, healthcare environments, residential properties, industrial sites, construction projects, and public sector estates.
Construction Phase Fire Risk Assessments
A construction site is one of the highest-risk working environments for fire. Combustible materials, hot work operations, temporary electrical installations, and the absence of permanent fire detection and suppression systems create a risk profile that changes daily as work progresses. A construction phase fire risk assessment is not a one-off document. It must reflect the actual conditions on site at every stage of the build.
Tower Fire provides construction phase fire risk assessments for principal contractors, site managers, and developers across the UK. Every assessment is carried out by an active or retired professional firefighter who understands how fire behaves in construction environments.
Legal
Requirement
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all non-domestic premises require a fire risk assessment where persons are present. Construction sites are not exempt. The principal contractor is the responsible person and must ensure a suitable and sufficient assessment is in place and reviewed throughout the project. The HSE’s Fire Safety in Construction guidance and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 apply simultaneously.
Professional Fire Risk Assessments: What the Law Requires
A fire risk assessment is a legal requirement for virtually all non-domestic premises in the UK. Whether you operate an office, manage residential blocks, run a healthcare facility, or oversee a construction site, you are required to identify fire hazards, evaluate risk, and implement appropriate control measures.
Under RRFSO 2005 in England and Wales, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, and the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006, the “responsible person” must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is completed and regularly reviewed.
Failure to comply can result in enforcement notices, prosecution, unlimited fines, or imprisonment in severe cases. Insurance providers may also refuse claims where compliance cannot be demonstrated.
As one of the established fire risk assessment companies UK, Tower Fire Group delivers assessments aligned with recognised industry frameworks such as BAFE SP205 principles and NSI Gold expectations. While certification may apply to third-party schemes, our approach mirrors the same level of rigour, accountability, and documentation standards.
We conduct assessments across a wide range of environments, including commercial premises, healthcare facilities, residential buildings, industrial sites, and public sector estates.
