Our qualified, locally based fire risk assessors provide practical, cost-effective solutions tailored to your premises.
Why Fire Risk Assessments Matter in Middlesbrough
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the “responsible person” must ensure a fire risk assessment is carried out and regularly reviewed. This is the cornerstone of fire safety regulations and requires you to identify fire hazards, evaluate risks, and implement effective control measures.
Cleveland Fire Brigade enforces these standards locally. With Middlesbrough’s mix of industrial, commercial, and residential properties, having Middlesbrough based fire risk assessors who understand the area is a major advantage.
A thorough fire risk assessment helps you:
- Identify sources of ignition, combustible materials, and people at risk
- Create a robust fire evacuation plan
- Ensure fire alarm systems, extinguishers, and passive fire protection are adequate
- Maintain workplace fire safety and avoid costly enforcement action
Different Types of Fire Risk Assessment
| Type | Description | Suitable For | Inspection Method | When It’s Typically Needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type 1 | Non-destructive assessment of common parts only | Multi-occupancy residential buildings (standard) | Visual inspection of corridors, stairwells, escape routes | Most common starting point for landlords and managing agents |
| Type 2 | Destructive assessment of common parts | Buildings where structural fire risks are suspected | Involves opening walls, ceilings, floors for hidden defects | When Type 1 raises concerns about concealed risks |
| Type 3 | Non-destructive assessment of common parts + sample flats | Higher-risk residential blocks | Visual inspection of communal areas plus individual flats | Purpose-built flats or converted buildings requiring broader coverage |
| Type 4 | Destructive assessment of common parts + flats | Highest-risk or complex residential sites | Full intrusive testing in both common areas and sample flats | Rare; used only when serious construction or compartmentation issues exist |
