Our Comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment Services
When you choose FireRA for your West Sussex fire risk assessment, our service includes:
Thorough On-Site Inspection
Our qualified assessors conduct meticulous inspections of your West Sussex premises, examining all potential fire hazards, escape routes, fire detection systems, and existing safety measures. We leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of identifying all possible risk factors.
Detailed Documentation
Following our inspection, you’ll receive comprehensive documentation outlining our findings, complete with photographic evidence and clear explanations. This valuable resource serves both as proof of compliance and as a practical guide for implementing safety improvements.

Ongoing Support
Our relationship doesn’t end with the delivery of your assessment report. We offer continued guidance as you implement recommended changes, ensuring you achieve and maintain optimal fire safety standards in your West Sussex property over the long term.
Legal Requirements for West Sussex Property Managers
As a property owner or manager in West Sussex, you’re legally obligated under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 to ensure appropriate fire safety measures are in place. This legislation requires designated “responsible persons” to:
- Conduct regular fire risk assessments
- Implement and maintain appropriate fire safety measures
- Create emergency plans and provide staff training
- Regularly review and update safety procedures
Failure to comply with these regulations can result in serious consequences, including substantial fines and even imprisonment in cases of severe negligence. More importantly, inadequate fire safety measures put lives at risk – something no responsible West Sussex property manager would want on their conscience.
