Professional Fire Risk Assessments for Businesses Across Northern Ireland
At Think-Fire, we provide professional Fire Risk Assessments designed to help businesses protect people, property, and operations while meeting current fire safety legislation. Our experienced assessors work with organisations throughout Northern Ireland to identify fire hazards, evaluate existing control measures, and provide practical recommendations to improve safety and compliance.
Whether you operate a small office, retail premises, industrial unit, hospitality venue, or multi-occupancy building, a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment is essential for reducing risk and ensuring your business is prepared in the event of a fire.
Under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 most non-domestic premises are legally required to have a Fire Risk Assessment in place.
What Is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A Fire Risk Assessment is a structured review of your premises to identify potential fire hazards, determine who may be at risk, and assess whether existing fire precautions are adequate. The assessment helps ensure that your business has the correct fire safety measures, procedures, and emergency arrangements in place.
The process typically includes:
- Identification of ignition sources and combustible materials
- Review of fire detection and warning systems
- Assessment of emergency escape routes and exits
- Inspection of fire doors and compartmentation
- Evaluation of fire extinguishers and fire safety equipment
- Review of staff training and evacuation procedures
- Consideration of vulnerable persons and high-risk areas
Our reports are written clearly and practically, making it easy for duty holders and business owners to understand required actions and priorities.
