Professional, practical and non-intrusive fire risk assessments tailored to your premises, helping you understand fire risks and prioritise improvements.
Protect people, property and your organisation with clear fire safety advice, practical recommendations and professional reporting.
Fire safety is about far more than meeting a legal requirement. It is about protecting lives, safeguarding property and ensuring your organisation is prepared to prevent and respond to fire-related emergencies.
Whether you are responsible for an office, warehouse, school, HMO, healthcare facility, retail premises or another workplace, you have a duty to understand and manage the risks associated with fire.
At The Safety Net Consultants, we provide professional, non-destructive and non-intrusive Fire Risk Assessments that help duty holders identify hazards, evaluate existing fire safety measures and prioritise practical improvements.
Our assessments are designed to support compliance with current fire safety legislation while providing straightforward, commercially sensible advice.
Every assessment is completed using our SafeChain digital reporting approach, producing a professional PDF report tailored specifically to your premises.
A Fire Risk Assessment is a systematic review of a building and the activities carried out within it.
It identifies potential fire hazards, evaluates the likelihood and consequences of fire, and considers whether existing control measures are suitable.
A Fire Risk Assessment helps Responsible Persons and duty holders understand:
• What fire hazards exist
• Who could be affected
• Whether current fire precautions are suitable
• What improvements may be required
• How risks can be reduced to an acceptable level
• What actions should be prioritised
A suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment forms an important part of effective fire safety management and should be reviewed whenever significant changes occur or at appropriate intervals.
Our assessments are practical, proportionate and tailored to the building and its use.
We recognise that every premises is different. That is why we avoid generic templates and instead provide bespoke assessments that reflect the actual risks present.
Our consultants take the time to understand your organisation, how the building is occupied and how fire safety is currently managed before providing realistic recommendations that support continual improvement.
Our assessments are suitable for both small businesses and large organisations across a wide variety of sectors.
We undertake Fire Risk Assessments for a wide range of buildings and workplace environments.
Fire risk assessments for offices, professional workplaces and multi-tenant business premises.
Practical assessments for warehouses, distribution centres, industrial units and operational sites.

Our Fire Risk Assessments consider the overall fire safety management of your premises.
Sources of ignition, fuel and oxygen, including electrical equipment, heating systems, hot works, storage arrangements, combustible materials, waste management and housekeeping.
Escape routes, final exits, signage, travel distances, obstructions, emergency arrangements and safe evacuation.
Fire alarm systems, manual call points, audible warnings, detection arrangements and emergency communication procedures where present.
Portable fire extinguishers, fire blankets, accessibility, signage and general suitability.
Visual checks of fire doors, self-closing devices, general condition, escape route protection and visible compartmentation issues where apparent.
Emergency procedures, evacuation arrangements, training, fire drills, maintenance arrangements and management responsibilities.
Our Fire Risk Assessments are non-destructive and non-intrusive.
This means our assessments do not involve opening walls, ceilings or building fabric, carrying out invasive investigations or damaging property.
Instead, we undertake a thorough visual inspection and assessment of the premises, supported by discussions with the Responsible Person and a review of available information where appropriate.
If specialist investigations or surveys are recommended, these will be clearly identified within the report.
Every Fire Risk Assessment is completed using our SafeChain digital reporting approach.
This allows us to produce a professional PDF report tailored specifically to your premises rather than relying on generic templates.
Your report may include:
• Executive summary
• Description of the premises
• Significant findings
• Positive observations
• Identified fire hazards
• Prioritised recommendations
• Practical action plan
• Supporting photographs where appropriate
The report is designed to be clear, practical and easy to understand. It can be shared with building managers, directors, clients, facilities teams or other stakeholders.
Our objective is not simply to identify deficiencies. It is to provide practical, proportionate solutions.
We understand that organisations need advice that is realistic, commercially sensible and aligned with current legislation and recognised good practice.
Where improvements are required, we explain what they are, why they matter and how they can contribute to safer premises.
Our recommendations are prioritised to help organisations plan improvements effectively rather than becoming overwhelmed by unnecessary bureaucracy.
Choosing the right fire risk assessor means selecting someone who combines technical knowledge with practical experience and a common-sense approach.
