fire risk assessments
A fire risk assessment is one of the most important steps in protecting your people, property, and business. It helps identify fire hazards, evaluate existing fire safety measures, and ensure appropriate controls are in place to reduce the risk of fire.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is a legal requirement for most non-domestic premises, including businesses, public buildings, licensed premises, blocks of flats, and Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). More importantly, it provides a structured approach to safeguarding employees, customers, visitors, and assets. After all, prevention is always better than cure.
At Argos Fire Protection, we provide professional fire risk assessments for businesses, landlords, property managers, schools, healthcare providers, public sector organisations, and residential properties throughout the South West and beyond. Whether you manage a single site or an extensive property portfolio, we can help you understand your responsibilities and achieve compliance with confidence.
Competent, independent fire risk assessors
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires fire risk assessments to be carried out by a competent person with sufficient training, knowledge, and experience to identify risks and recommend appropriate preventative and protective measures.
To provide complete confidence in the findings and recommendations, all of our fire risk assessments are undertaken by fully independent, third-party accredited fire risk assessors. This ensures every assessment is impartial, objective, and focused solely on improving fire safety within your premises.
Our assessors hold recognised professional qualifications and memberships, including:
- Graduate Status of the Institute of Fire Engineers (GIFireE)
- Technician Status of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (TechIOSH)
By using independent assessors, you can be confident that the advice and recommendations provided are practical, unbiased, and tailored specifically to your property and operations.
PAS 79 fire risk assessments
Our fire risk assessments are carried out using the nationally recognised PAS 79 methodology, a widely accepted framework used by fire safety professionals, enforcing authorities, and insurers.
Following the assessment, you will receive a comprehensive report that includes:
- Identification of fire hazards and associated risks
- Review of existing fire safety arrangements
- Assessment of current fire protection measures
- Evaluation of overall fire risk
- A clear, prioritised action plan
- Practical recommendations to improve safety and compliance
All reports are written in a clear and easy-to-understand format, helping you quickly identify any actions required and prioritise improvements effectively.
