At Safety Spectrum London, we provide Commercial Fire Risk Assessments across London for offices, shops, restaurants, warehouses, and other business premises. Our assessments are meant to help employers and other people in charge figure out what they need to do to keep their workplaces safe and follow UK fire safety laws.
Our goal is simple: find real risks in your workplace and give you useful tips on how to make it safer and follow the rules.

Our role is to help the Responsible Person understand and manage fire safety risks within their workplace.
A commercial fire risk assessment examines how a fire could start, how it might spread, and whether the building’s safety measures are sufficient.
There are usually three types of fire hazards: things that can start a fire, things that can burn, and oxygen.
Common workplace hazards may include:
Electrical equipment and appliances, Heating systems, Cooking equipment, Flammable materials or storage, Waste and packaging materials
Identifying these hazards helps reduce the likelihood of a fire starting.

A Commercial Fire Risk Assessment is not only a legal requirement, but also an important step in protecting people and businesses from fire hazards.
Commercial fire risk assessments are required for many types of business premises.
Commercial fire safety in England is governed by several important laws.
Businesses must do fire risk assessments and take the right steps to protect themselves from fires under this law.
The Responsible Person must:
As part of their fire safety management, businesses must write down the results of the assessment and keep records of them.
Reviews should be carried out when:
When we do commercial fire risk assessments, we often find common fire safety problems in businesses. Taking care of these risks early on makes things safer and lowers the chances of fires happening.
Things that are left in hallways or escape routes can block the way out and make it take longer for people to leave the building safely in an emergency.
Common causes of fires in commercial buildings are broken electrical systems, damaged wiring, or too much equipment.
To keep fire and smoke from spreading through the building, fire doors must close properly and stay in good shape.
If there aren’t enough signs or emergency lights, it can be hard for people to find their way out in an emergency.
To make sure everyone can leave the building safely, workers should know how to respond to fire alarms and follow evacuation procedures.
All tests performed comply with written RAMS (Risk Assessment And Method Statement) for total HSE compliance.
