Fire Risk Assessment Duties in Hampshire
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service provides guidance for Responsible Persons on carrying out and reviewing fire risk assessments and managing fire safety duties.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person must carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment of premises covered by the legislation. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service explains that the assessment should identify what needs to be done to prevent fire and keep employees and others who may be affected by the premises safe.
Current Hampshire guidance describes a fire risk assessment as an organised and methodical look at the premises, the activities carried on there and the likelihood that a fire could start and cause harm. The process includes identifying fire hazards, identifying people at risk, evaluating and reducing risks, recording and communicating arrangements, and reviewing the assessment.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service also advises that a competent person should be appointed where the Responsible Person does not have the appropriate knowledge or understanding to comply effectively with the legal requirements.
Local Property Considerations for Fire Risk Assessments
The assessment should be tailored to the premises, its activities, occupancy, layout and existing fire precautions.
Town Centre and High Street Premises
Shops, offices, restaurants and other town centre premises can have varying layouts, occupancy levels and escape arrangements. The assessment should reflect how each building is actually used.
Hotels, Pubs and Hospitality
Premises used for hospitality can involve customers unfamiliar with the building, changing occupancy levels, kitchens, cooking equipment and late operating hours. Hampshire guidance provides specific fire safety information for licensed premises.
HMOs and Shared Accommodation
Houses in multiple occupation and shared residential premises can require particular attention to sleeping accommodation, detection and warning, escape routes, fire doors and management arrangements.
Factories, Warehouses and Industrial Units
Industrial and storage premises may involve machinery, combustible materials, storage arrangements, vehicles and other hazards. These should be considered alongside escape routes, compartmentation and firefighting measures.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service advises Responsible Persons to keep fire risk assessments current and maintain appropriate fire safety arrangements.
Current Hampshire guidance states that, following Section 156 of the Building Safety Act, businesses must complete and record a fire risk assessment and fire safety arrangements in full, regardless of the size or purpose of the business premises.
The Responsible Person must keep the assessment up to date and regularly reviewed. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service recommends at least an annual review, with further review where circumstances change.
For certain residential buildings, additional duties now apply. From 6 April 2026, the Fire Safety (Residential Evacuation Plans) (England) Regulations 2025 introduced requirements for certain buildings to identify residents who may struggle to evacuate without assistance, offer person-centred fire risk assessments and maintain building-wide evacuation arrangements.
