Fire Safety Information for Christchurch Premises
Fire safety arrangements should reflect the individual premises, its use and the people who may be affected.
Fire Risk Assessments in Christchurch
Christchurch has a varied mix of commercial, retail, industrial, residential and community premises.
Commercial Premises in Christchurch
Christchurch has a broad mix of offices, shops, restaurants, pubs, hotels, holiday accommodation, retail premises and commercial buildings. Fire safety arrangements should reflect the individual building, its activities, occupancy and existing precautions.
A fire risk assessment should consider ignition sources, combustible materials, people at risk, means of escape, fire detection and warning, firefighting equipment, emergency lighting, signs and ongoing maintenance.
Premises in Christchurch city centre and surrounding business areas can have very different layouts and uses, so the scope of an assessment should be based on the actual premises rather than location alone.
Residential and HMO Properties
Christchurch includes HMOs, blocks of flats, rented accommodation and mixed-use buildings where communal areas and shared escape routes can create additional fire safety considerations.
Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service guidance highlights the importance of keeping escape routes clear, maintaining fire safety measures and ensuring responsible persons understand their duties.
Where a property is complex, has sleeping accommodation or contains vulnerable occupants, the responsible person may choose to use a competent fire risk assessor.
Christchurch and Surrounding Communities
Enquiries can come from across Christchurch and the surrounding area, including Highcliffe, Mudeford, Burton, Somerford, Purewell, Jumpers and nearby communities.
The location of a premises is only one part of the assessment. The building itself, its use, occupancy, layout and existing fire precautions should be considered.
Providing accurate premises information when requesting a quotation can help an assessor understand the likely scope of work.
Christchurch and Dorset
Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service states that responsible persons must carry out and record an appropriate fire risk assessment, with findings reviewed and updated when circumstances change.
The Christchurch area includes historic buildings, town-centre premises, hospitality businesses, holiday accommodation and commercial properties. Each premises should be assessed according to its own use, layout, occupancy and fire precautions.
For premises affected by changes in occupancy, processes, storage, staffing or use, the fire risk assessment should be reviewed so that the documented assessment continues to reflect the actual risk.
