Fire Safety Information for Manchester Premises
Fire safety arrangements should reflect the individual premises, its use and the people who may be affected.
Fire Risk Assessments in Manchester
Manchester has a varied mix of commercial, retail, industrial, residential and community premises.
Commercial Premises in Manchester
Manchester has a broad mix of offices, shops, restaurants, pubs, hotels, student 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 Manchester 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
Manchester includes HMOs, student accommodation, blocks of flats, rented accommodation and mixed-use buildings where communal areas and shared escape routes can create additional fire safety considerations.
Greater Manchester & Greater Manchester 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.

Manchester and Greater Manchester
Greater Manchester & Greater Manchester 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 Manchester area includes historic city-centre buildings, offices, retail premises, hospitality businesses, student accommodation, apartment blocks and industrial properties. Each premises should be assessed according to its own use, layout, occupancy and fire precautions.
