Fire Risk Assessments Southampton

Do I need a Fire Risk Assessment in Southampton?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that fire risk assessments are carried out on any non-domestic premises in Southampton, including fire safety precautions to reduce or eliminate the risk of fire and identify persons at risk. As well as commercial properties, communal areas of residential buildings are also covered under the Order. This includes residential blocks of flats and Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), which means landlords will need a fire safety risk assessment in Southampton.

A comprehensive report is then issued with findings and recommendations along with a timescale of when the work should be completed, where applicable.
