Fire Risk Assessment in Leeds UK
Our fully trained and experienced Fire Safety Assessors and Fire Stopping Specialists carry out thorough Fire Safety Risk Assessments, Fire Safety Reviews, and Life Safety Fire Risk Assessment Leeds and the surrounding areas.
As the responsible person for your premises, you are legally required to conduct and regularly review a Fire Risk Assessment. For buildings of any size or complexity, it’s strongly recommended to engage a professional Fire Risk Assessor to ensure the process is both suitable and sufficient. A professional assessment not only helps prevent fires but also supports effective fire compartmentation and ensures that passive fire protection measures are in place to keep occupants safe.
What can we do to help?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Section 9, requires all businesses to regularly carry out suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessments.
At Squared Circle Environmental Safety, we provide fully compliant Fire Risk Assessments and Life Safety Fire Risk Assessments for non-domestic premises across Leeds, in line with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Our assessments identify potential fire hazards, evaluate the risk of ignition, and assess the impact on life safety. We focus on escape routes, fire detection systems, and occupant protection, helping your business remain compliant while ensuring the safety of everyone on-site.
If your business employs five or more people, you are legally required not only to conduct a fire risk assessment but to document your findings in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Passive Fire Risk Assessment a legal requirement in the UK?
Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety Act 2021, responsible persons must ensure that passive fire protection is adequate. This includes buildings with sleeping accommodations, workplaces, and multi-occupancy dwellings.
How often should Passive Fire Risk Assessments be carried out?
There is no fixed interval, but assessments should be reviewed regularly, especially after building changes, refurbishments, or every 12 months in high-risk environments. Housing associations and landlords often follow best practice guidance for annual reviews.
What does a Passive Fire Risk Assessment cover?
It includes checking fire doors, fire-resistant walls and floors, compartmentation, dampers, and service penetrations. The goal is to identify weaknesses that may allow fire or smoke to spread between compartments.
Who is responsible for conducting a Passive Fire Risk Assessment?
The “responsible person” (e.g., building owner, employer, or managing agent) must ensure the assessment is done. It should be carried out by a competent person with knowledge of fire protection systems and UK regulations.
