Fire risk assessment

Retail Fire Risk Assessment

Retail premises need fire risk assessments that consider customers, staff, stock rooms, display layouts, deliveries, back-of-house areas and shared landlord systems.

Typical retail pricing

Retail-specific checks

• Customer escape routes, sales floor layout and final exits.
• Stock storage, packaging waste, display materials and seasonal stock.
• Staff rooms, kitchens, electrical cupboards and delivery areas.
• Landlord systems, shared areas and centre management responsibilities.

Common mistakes

Retail teams often change displays and stock levels without reviewing escape widths. Back-of-house storage, blocked fire exits and missing test records are also common.

Quote preparation

Share the trading floor size, stock room size, number of floors, opening hours, staff count and whether the unit sits inside a managed shopping centre.
