Stay compliant and protect lives with trusted fire risk assessments from Osprey Solent.

As a duty holder or responsible person, you are legally required to carry out regular fire risk assessments under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. At Osprey Solent, we deliver comprehensive, clear, and fully compliant fire risk assessments as part of our broader fire safety services for businesses, landlords, and property managers across the UK.

Our assessments are tailored to the specific layout, use, and fire risks associated with your premises—whether it’s an office, warehouse, HMO, construction site, or commercial property.

What is a Fire Risk Assessment?

A fire risk assessment is a structured review of your premises to identify potential fire hazards, assess who may be at risk, evaluate existing control measures, and determine what improvements are necessary to reduce fire risk and ensure safe evacuation.

It’s not just a box-ticking exercise—it’s a crucial part of safeguarding lives, protecting assets, and ensuring compliance with UK fire safety law.

Who Needs a Fire Risk Assessment?

You are required to have a fire risk assessment if you are:

  • A business owner or employer with five or more employees

  • A landlord or managing agent for a block of flats or HMO

  • Responsible for a commercial, public, or industrial building

  • Running a construction site or temporary workplace

  • A duty holder for educational, healthcare, or hospitality premises

Even if you’re not legally obliged, a fire risk assessment is a valuable tool in reducing fire risk, protecting people, and demonstrating due diligence.

How Often Should Fire Risk Assessments Be Reviewed?

Your fire risk assessment must be regularly reviewed and updated—especially:

  • After significant changes to the building or layout

  • If there has been a fire or near miss

  • When occupancy or operations change

  • At least annually as best practice

We offer both one-off assessments and scheduled reviews as part of ongoing support packages.
