Fire Risk Assessments for Small Businesses

UK law requires most businesses to carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment.

Tailored Safety Solutions provides fire risk assessments for small businesses, helping you meet legal obligations, protect your people, and demonstrate compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order.

Who Needs a Fire Risk Assessment?

This service is suitable for:

  • Small offices and workplaces

  • Retail units and shops

  • Warehouses and light industrial premises

  • Shared or multi-occupancy buildings
