Stoke-on-Trent Workplace Fire Safety — What the Law Requires
Every employer and person responsible for non-domestic premises in Stoke-on-Trent 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.

Frequently asked questions
Does my Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent business now needs a written FRA.
Who enforces workplace fire safety in Stoke-on-Trent?
The local fire and rescue authority enforces the RRO 2005 for workplaces in Stoke-on-Trent. 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 Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent?
Fire risk assessment consultants in Stoke-on-Trent 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.
