Frequently asked questions
Is a fire risk assessment template legally acceptable in the UK?
A template can be used to record a fire risk assessment, but the document itself must meet the standard of 'suitable and sufficient' under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO 2005). A blank template gives you no guidance on what to assess or how to rate risks — meaning it is easy to produce a document that looks complete but fails legally. FRASafe structures every question to the requirements of BS 9792:2025 and the RRO 2005, so the output meets the legal standard.
What must a UK fire risk assessment include?
Under the RRO 2005 and BS 9792:2025, a fire risk assessment must cover: identification of fire hazards and ignition sources; persons at risk (including vulnerable occupants); means of escape and evacuation procedures; fire detection and warning systems; structural fire protection including fire doors and compartmentation; firefighting equipment; emergency lighting; fire safety management procedures; and a prioritised action plan for any deficiencies found. It must be documented in writing and reviewed at least annually.
Can I use a free fire risk assessment template?
You can, but a free template puts the burden entirely on you to know what to include, how to rate each risk, and whether the output satisfies BS 9792:2025 and the RRO 2005. If you miss a required section — fire door condition, compartmentation, means of escape for vulnerable occupants — the assessment fails legally even if the document looks complete. FRASafe costs £45 to download the finished PDF, but the assessment itself is free to complete. For the cost difference, you get a guided questionnaire that cannot miss a required section.
Who can complete a fire risk assessment?
The RRO 2005 requires the assessment to be completed by a 'competent person' — someone with sufficient knowledge of the property and fire safety principles to identify hazards and evaluate risks. For most residential landlords and HMO managers, this means the landlord or managing agent. A professional fire risk assessor is required for larger or more complex premises (high-rise, care homes, premises with complex layouts). FRASafe is designed for competent landlords and managers completing their own assessment.
How long does an online fire risk assessment take?
Most landlords complete a FRASafe assessment in 20–35 minutes. Progress is saved automatically so you can pause and return at any time. The assessment also works offline, so you can complete it on-site at the property without needing a signal.
Does FRASafe cover HMOs and holiday lets?
Yes. FRASafe has separate, purpose-built assessments for HMOs (aligned to BS 9792:2025, accepted for council HMO licensing) and for holiday lets and short-term rentals including Airbnb (required under England's STL Registration Scheme from April 2026). Both produce a signed PDF report for £45.
