Berkshire Fire Risk Assessments

Who needs a fire risk
assessment in Berkshire?

Berkshire is a major commercial county stretching from Slough and Windsor in the east to Newbury in the west, with Reading as its principal commercial centre. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to all non-domestic premises across the county.

Reading's dense commercial and HMO market, Slough's large industrial and logistics sector, and the mix of residential and commercial premises across Windsor, Bracknell and Maidenhead all generate significant demand for fire risk assessments. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service enforces fire safety law across the county.

Reading in particular has a high volume of HMOs serving the University of Reading student population. Reading Borough Council requires a valid fire risk assessment as a condition of HMO licensing. Slough Borough Council similarly requires current fire safety documentation for HMO and commercial premises.

The Legal Duty — Berkshire
"The responsible person must make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to which relevant persons are exposed."

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Article 9. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers all areas of Berkshire.
