Can I do my own fire risk assessment?

Foley and Baugh - The Health & Safety People

Foley and Baugh offer fire risk assessments in Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Norwich, Ipswich, across Norfolk and Suffolk.

“Can I do my own fire risk assessment?” You can do a fire risk assessment yourself with the help of fire safety risk assessment guides. However, if you don’t have the expertise or time to do the fire risk assessment yourself, you need to appoint a ‘competent person.’ 

Fire safety isn’t just a box to tick – it’s a fundamental responsibility for any business owner, and it must be done properly. Under the law, your premises must meet strict fire safety requirements, and it is your duty to ensure a “responsible person” is designated to manage fire safety matters. This means conducting a thorough fire risk assessment and implementing necessary control measures to mitigate potential hazards. While this may sound overwhelming, you don’t have to handle it alone. Foley and Baugh are here to take away all the stress. Fire safety is something we’re experts in, and we’re committed to keeping our clients’ businesses safe and compliant.

Why choose Foley and Baugh?
When it comes to fire safety, a generic, one-size-fits-all approach just won’t do. Many businesses assume that filling out a standard risk assessment form is enough to ensure compliance. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. True fire safety management requires a holistic, customised approach that takes into account the specific needs of your business. That’s where Foley and Baugh come in. Experts based in Great Yarmouth, we conduct fire risk assessments throughout Norfolk and Suffolk, including Lowestoft, Norwich and Ipswich. Fire risk assessments need to be done properly, by experts, otherwise you risk not being compliant and you risk jeopardising the safety of your business and personnel.

As your trusted fire safety partner, we provide a tailored service that goes beyond basic risk assessments. Our experts will evaluate your premises, assess potential risks and deliver a comprehensive fire safety strategy designed specifically for your business. The result? A detailed, actionable plan that ensures compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 while also enhancing the overall safety of your premises.

Fire prevention starts with expertise. Our experienced fire risk assessors have in-depth knowledge of fire prevention and fire safety management; we identify risks that others might overlook.

No two businesses are the same, and nor are their fire safety needs. That’s why our risk assessments are fully customised to reflect the unique nature of your property and operations. Our expert assessors take the time to understand your business, ensuring that all potential risks are identified and that effective mitigation strategies are put in place.

Our assessments go beyond the basics, covering everything from structural fire risks to electrical hazards, evacuation plans and fire suppression systems. Our reports are clear, thorough and easy to follow, outlining each identified risk and providing actionable recommendations to improve safety.

Your peace of mind starts here. Fire safety is your responsibility, but you don’t have to handle it alone. Let Foley and Baugh be your trusted fire safety partner. Contact us today to ensure your business is protected, compliant, and prepared for any fire-related emergency.

Face Fit Testing

Foley and Baugh offer a full face fit testing service to businesses and individuals through East Anglia from our head office in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Face fit testing is critical process for assessing the seal of respiratory protective equipment (RPE) like face masks and respirators to a users face.

Face fit testing checks for gaps between a RPE and the user's face to ensure effective filtration of airborne contaminants. Through simulated exercises, any gaps in the seal are identified, enabling adjustments or recommending alternative respiratory protective equipment to maximise user protection. Repeat testing is a must for maintaining safety standards and protecting workers in hazardous environments across all industries.
