What Are FRA and Why Do They Matter?

A fire risk assessment is a systematic evaluation of your premises to identify potential fire hazards, assess the level of risk to people and property and recommend practical control measures. Under UK law, almost every non-domestic premises must have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment in place, regularly reviewed and updated.

Failing to carry out proper fire risk assessments can result in severe fines, enforcement notices, prosecution and in the worst cases, tragic loss of life. That is why thousands of forward-thinking UK businesses now partner with specialists like AL23 Safety for professional FRA that go far beyond basic compliance.
