A commercial fire risk assessment is a detailed review of fire hazards, people at risk and existing fire safety measures within a business or non-domestic property. Its purpose is to identify how a fire could start, assess who could be harmed and recommend suitable precautions to reduce fire risks. A commercial FRA considers the building’s use, layout, number of occupants, business activities and emergency arrangements. It also reviews how fire safety is managed, maintained and recorded.
Every business has different fire risks. An office may contain electrical equipment, a restaurant may have cooking appliances, and a warehouse may store large amounts of combustible goods. Without suitable fire safety arrangements, these hazards can put employees, customers and visitors at risk.
A professional assessment helps:
Commercial fire risk assessments are relevant to many people responsible for non-domestic premises. These include business owners, employers, commercial landlords, tenants, facilities managers, managing agents and other people who control the building or parts of it. Even small businesses may have legal fire safety duties. The size of a business does not remove the need to identify and manage fire risks.
Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, most commercial properties in England must have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. This includes offices, shops, restaurants, warehouses and other workplaces. The Responsible Person must identify fire hazards, maintain suitable safety measures and review the assessment regularly.
The Fire Safety Order requires the Responsible Person to:
Identify fire hazards and people at risk
Provide and maintain suitable fire safety measures
Keep escape routes and emergency arrangements suitable
Provide staff with fire safety information and training
Record and regularly review the fire risk assessment
Read the official GOV.UK Fire Safety Responsibilities.
Since 1 October 2023, Responsible Persons must record their fire risk assessments in full, regardless of employee numbers. They must also document fire safety arrangements and the identity of any appointed fire risk assessor.
Read the GOV.UK Section 156 Guidance.
The Responsible Person may be the employer, business owner, commercial landlord, tenant, building manager or managing agent, depending on who controls the premises.
Where several parties share responsibility, they must cooperate to maintain suitable fire safety arrangements.
Read GOV.UK – Who Is Responsible for Fire Safety?.
Failure to meet fire safety requirements can lead to enforcement notices, fines, legal action or restrictions on building use.
A professional assessment helps identify fire safety risks and the improvements needed.

Fire safety problems can develop gradually through daily use, poor maintenance or changes to a building. A commercial FRA may identify concerns such as:
Blocked Escape Routes: Stock, furniture, waste and equipment can obstruct corridors, stairways and emergency exits.
Damaged Fire Doors: Fire doors may have defective closers, damaged seals, poor alignment or other visible faults.
Inadequate Fire Alarm Arrangements: Problems with alarm provision or missing maintenance records may require specialist review.
Emergency Lighting Issues: Faulty or inadequate emergency lighting can make evacuation more difficult during a power failure.
Unsafe Storage: Combustible materials stored near ignition sources or escape routes can increase risk.
Electrical Hazards: Damaged cables, overloaded equipment and unsafe charging arrangements may create fire hazards.
Poor Fire Compartmentation: Unsealed openings or damaged fire-resistant barriers can allow fire and smoke to spread.
Missing Fire Safety Records: Incomplete testing, maintenance or training records may indicate poor fire safety management.
Inadequate Emergency Procedures: Staff who are not trained or do not understand evacuation procedures may struggle to respond effectively. Identifying these issues helps the Responsible Person plan appropriate action.
A commercial fire risk assessment must be reviewed regularly and updated when necessary. There is no universal statutory rule stating that every commercial FRA automatically expires after 12 months.
A review may be needed when:
Some businesses use an annual review schedule as part of fire safety management, but significant changes may require an earlier review.
A fire risk assessment certificate does not create a universal legal expiry date for the underlying assessment. The Responsible Person must make sure the fire risk assessment remains suitable and reflects current risks.
A new assessment or substantial update may be required if the building has changed significantly or the previous assessment no longer reflects its current use. For example, converting an office into a restaurant may introduce cooking hazards and different evacuation requirements.
Commercial and residential buildings have different fire safety risks.
Commercial FRA | Residential/Common Area FRA |
Business activities and workplace hazards | Residential occupation and shared building risks |
Employees, customers and visitors | Residents, visitors and building staff |
Commercial equipment and processes | Domestic and communal services |
