Fire risk assessment guidance

A set of guides have been produced by Communities and Local Government which will tell you what you have to do to comply with fire safety law. The guides help you to carry out a fire risk assessment at your workplace and identify the general fire precautions you need to have in place.

They are designed so that a responsible person with limited training or experience should be able to carry out a fire risk assessment and make sure that they are meeting the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Below is a list of various business related fire risk assessment guides as found on the government's website for fire safety in the workplace.
