Norwich Workplace Fire Safety — What the Law Requires
Every employer and person responsible for non-domestic premises in Norwich is required under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO 2005) to carry out a 'suitable and sufficient' fire risk assessment. Since October 2023, the Building Safety Act 2022 requires all responsible persons to record their FRA in writing — the previous exemption for businesses with fewer than five employees no longer applies.
- Written FRA now mandatory for all businesses regardless of size (Building Safety Act 2022)
- The local fire and rescue authority enforces the RRO 2005 for workplaces in Norwich
- Enforcement notices, prohibition notices, and prosecution for non-compliance
- PAS 79-1:2020 is the recognised standard for non-domestic fire risk assessments
- FRASafe produces a PAS 79-1:2020 structured written FRA accepted by fire authorities

Frequently asked questions
Does my Norwich business legally need a fire risk assessment?
Yes. The RRO 2005 requires every employer and person responsible for non-domestic premises to carry out a 'suitable and sufficient' fire risk assessment. Since October 2023, the Building Safety Act 2022 requires all responsible persons to record their FRA in writing — the previous exemption for businesses with fewer than five employees no longer applies. Every Norwich business now needs a written FRA.
Who enforces workplace fire safety in Norwich?
The local fire and rescue authority enforces the RRO 2005 for workplaces in Norwich. They can carry out fire safety inspections, issue enforcement notices requiring remedial action, issue prohibition notices (forcing closure of unsafe premises), and prosecute responsible persons. Non-compliance is a criminal offence carrying unlimited fines and up to two years' imprisonment.
Can I complete a fire risk assessment myself for my Norwich office?
Yes, for most small offices and low-risk premises. The RRO 2005 requires the assessment to be carried out by a 'competent person' — someone with sufficient knowledge and experience to identify fire hazards and evaluate risk. FRASafe guides you through every question and produces a structured PAS 79-1:2020 compliant written record. For complex premises (5+ storeys, 50+ employees, or premises with cooking or manufacturing), a professional fire risk assessor is recommended.
How much does a workplace fire risk assessment cost in Norwich?
Fire risk assessment consultants in Norwich typically charge £150–£400 for an office or small business premises. FRASafe produces a complete, PAS 79-1:2020 structured written FRA for £45 — significantly less than an on-site consultant, and accepted by fire authorities as a valid written record.
