PAS 79-1:2020 vs PAS 79-2:2020: Which Assessment Do You Need?

Frequently Asked Questions
London Commercial Fire Risk Assessment FAQs
Essential compliance guidance for London business owners, employers, and facility managers.
Under Article 3 of the Fire Safety Order 2005, the employer is the primary Responsible Person for workplace premises. In shared multi-tenant commercial buildings (e.g. serviced offices, shopping centres), responsibility is shared between the employer, tenant, and building landlord under a statutory duty of cooperation.
Under Section 156 of the Building Safety Act 2022, all businesses regardless of staff headcount must now record their fire risk assessment and fire safety arrangements in full. The old exemption allowing non-written assessments for businesses with fewer than 5 staff has been repealed.
Our commercial assessors are Tier-3 competent professionals registered with the Institute of Fire Engineers (IFE) or the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM), holding advanced certifications in non-domestic PAS 79-2 fire auditing.
Commercial assessments should be formally reviewed at least annually. An immediate re-assessment is mandatory if you introduce new machinery, change premises layouts, alter hazardous storage, or significantly increase employee headcounts.
Under BS 5306-8, commercial premises require a minimum of two Class A extinguishers per floor (total rating 26A), plus appropriate CO2 extinguishers for electrical risks. Travel distances to the nearest extinguisher should not exceed 30 metres.
Yes. The Fire Safety Order requires employers to provide regular fire safety instruction to all staff and appoint an adequate number of trained Fire Wardens. Evacuation drills must be conducted and documented at least once every 12 months.
LFB inspectors review your written assessment, fire logbook, testing certificates, and physical escape routes. If breaches are discovered, they may issue an Informal Advisory Notice, an Article 30 Enforcement Notice, or an immediate Article 31 Prohibition Notice shutting down your premises.
We can inspect London offices, shops, restaurants, and warehouses with same-week and next-day availability. Digital PAS 79-2 reports with prioritized action matrices are delivered within 24 to 48 hours to ensure zero operational downtime.
