STK Fire Risk Assessments
Professional, Competent Fire Risk Assessments You Can Rely On
COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND
For complete peace of mind, STK Fire & Risk Management delivers robust, suitable and sufficient fire risk assessments carried out by highly experienced professionals.
We currently operate with a team of eight Fire Risk Assessors, each trained to the highest technical standard. More importantly, every assessor brings decades of real-world experience, with many having served 30 years within and beyond the Fire Service.
At least 10 years of that experience has been spent producing fire risk assessments that are respected, defensible, and practical.
NO PLACE FOR COMPLACENCY
Complacency has no place in fire safety. All STK assessors are required to demonstrate annual Continued Professional Development (CPD) across the sectors we support, including:
- Schools and education settings
- NHS and health trusts
- Industrial and manufacturing premises
- Retail environments
- Public assembly and leisure venues
This ongoing competence is a requirement of our BAFE SP205 third-party accreditation.

Suitable and Sufficient Fire Risk Assessments
At STK Fire & Risk Management Ltd, we ensure that every assessment we produce:
- Accurately reflects the actual risks within your premises
- Is proportionate, practical, and legally compliant
- Provides clear, actionable recommendations
- Can withstand scrutiny from enforcing authorities or auditors
Our role is to support you in meeting your legal responsibilities — not to overwhelm you with unnecessary complexity.
Fire Risk Assessments – The Legal Position
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to almost all non-domestic premises in England and Wales.
With limited exclusions (such as certain transport settings), the Order applies to:
- Workplaces and commercial premises
- Buildings open to the public
- Common areas of multi-occupied residential buildings
Under the Order, a Responsible Person is anyone who:
- Has control of premises
- Has control over certain areas or systems within a building
This can include employers, owners, occupiers, managing agents, and contractors.
Duties of the Responsible Person
The Fire Safety Order places a general duty on the Responsible Person to:
- Ensure the safety of all relevant persons on the premises
- Protect others who may be affected by a fire
- Carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment
- Implement appropriate and adequate fire safety measures
- Reduce risk to life to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable
Failure to meet these duties can result in enforcement action, prosecution, and severe consequences.
Appointing a Fire Risk Assessment Consultant
When you appoint a fire risk assessor, you are delegating a critical task — but not the legal responsibility.
The duty to ensure that a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is in place always remains with the Responsible Person. That is why the competence of the assessor you appoint is just as important as the assessment itself.
Choosing the right consultant protects you, your organisation, and the people within your premises.
Questions You Should Ask Any Fire Risk Assessor
Before appointing a consultant, consider asking:
- Do you hold third-party accreditation? If so, with whom?
- Are your assessors individually qualified and experienced?
- How do you ensure ongoing professional development?
- Will the assessment be suitable for my specific type of premises?
STK is independently accredited under the BAFE SP205 Scheme, providing objective evidence that our systems, people, and assessments meet recognised national standards.
