Reviewed by Chris Banks, Commercial Director & NEBOSH-qualified assessor · Last reviewed October 2026
Pubs and bars combine crowds, alcohol, late hours and often live entertainment or commercial kitchens — a demanding fire-safety environment. A robust fire risk assessment is essential for your premises licence and to keep customers and staff safe. HawkSwift's assessors review your bar, cellar, kitchen and escape routes to deliver a compliant, practical report. This page is tailored specifically to betting shops premises.
Betting shops present unique fire safety challenges due to high customer density, the presence of cash-handling areas, and extensive electronic gaming equipment. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the 'responsible person' must ensure clear escape routes and maintain fire detection systems suitable for these environments. A competent assessor will specifically verify that fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) are positioned to prevent obstruction of escape routes and that their electrical installations do not compromise the premises' fire safety integrity.
