Fire Risk Assessments for Manchester & Oldham Based Businesses

If you run a business in Manchester or Oldham, you’re legally required to have a fire risk assessment. This applies to offices, shops, warehouses, schools, care homes, HMOs, and any non-domestic building. If five or more people work for you, you must keep a written record, do you feel confident that your business is legally protected?

At Jackson Fire & Security, we carry out fire risk assessments across Manchester & Oldham. Our Gold Standard certified engineers follow national standards and give you clear, practical steps to improve fire safety and meet legal duties to ensure your business and staff are safe.

What You’ll Receive With A Fire Risk Assessment.

Firstly we visit your business and carry out a full inspection. You’ll receive a broken down report that highlights risks, explains what’s working, and sets out what actions are required to be within the legal requirements. Each assessment covers:

• Fire alarms and detection systems
• Emergency exits and escape lighting
• Fire extinguishers and other equipment
• Fire doors, signage, and compartmentation
• Staff training, evacuation plans, and roles
• A clear action plan to improve safety

We tailor every assessment to your building and how you use it. Whether it’s a shop, school, care home or industrial unit, our advice will fit your setup.

Do you need a fire risk assessment or not?

You’re responsible for fire safety if you manage any of the following:

• Offices and commercial buildings
• Shops, restaurants, bars, and cafés
• Factories and warehouses
• Schools, colleges, and nurseries
• Hospitals, care homes, and medical sites
• Shared spaces in flats and HMOs
• Care Homes

You must review your fire risk assessment regularly—especially after any changes to layout, use, or occupancy.

When was the last time you checked your risk assessment?
