 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Never having used this company before, I was hesitant & concerned about whether they would be the right fit for the job at hand, how wrong I was. From the first greeting to the last handshake at the end of the day, UKFC were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were not there to tell you what was wrong, not there to talk down to you as some companies do, they explained how we could quickly eradicate any issues found, they gave me solutions not grief!!!! Professional, caring, a sense of humor at times which is always nice but most importantly, they had a common sense approach and that helped so much. Will defiantly use them again, highly recommended company that still has that personal touch!!! Lee

FRA FAQs

Fire Risk Assessments can be a minefield when it comes to regulations & what you need to cover.

Here are some of our most frequently asked questions which will hopefully clear up some of your concerns.

How often should I carry out a Fire Risk Assessment?

The ideal frequency for reviewing a fire risk assessment depends on various factors, such as the nature of the premises, the activities conducted within, and the number of people present. However, a general guideline is to review the assessment at least annually.

Additionally, reviews should be carried out whenever there are significant changes in the premises, such as renovations, alterations, or changes in occupancy levels.

For more further information, check out our full blog post here.

Who is responsible for completing a fire risk assessment?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsibility for completing a Fire Risk Assessment falls on the ‘Responsible Person.’ This person is typically the property owner, employer, landlord, or anyone with control over the premises.

If you do not feel confident in completing a comprehensive FRA, the responsible person must appoint a competent Fire Risk Assessor such as UK Fire Consultants.

For more information you can find our blog post on the subject here.

What are the four types of fire risk assessment?

The four types of fire risk assessment are:

Type 1 – Non Destructive FRA

Type 2 – Destructive Sampling FRA

Type 3 – Communal Areas & Flats FRA

Type 4 – Destructive FRA Communal Areas & Flats

For a full detailed guide and the most common types of fire risk assessment used in the UK you can find our blog post here.

Is a Fire Risk Assessment assessment a legal requirement?

Yes, conducting a Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement and if your business has 5 or more people, a written record of your assessment must be kept. If you hold responsibility for a building, such as an employer, owner, or occupier of premises other than a ‘single private dwelling’ (a private home), it is imperative that a competent person undertakes a Fire Risk Assessment.
