Shops and retail units welcome the public daily and often hold significant stock, packaging and display materials that add to the fire load. A fire risk assessment ensures your customers and staff can escape safely and that your premises meet the RRO 2005. HawkSwift delivers fast, fixed-price retail assessments suitable for your Fire Authority and insurer. This page is tailored specifically to charity shops premises.
Charity shops present distinct fire hazards due to high volumes of donated stock, often including textiles and furniture, which can accelerate fire spread. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the 'responsible person' must manage these combustible risks and ensure clear escape routes. A competent assessor will specifically check that storage areas and racking heights do not obstruct emergency exits or impede visibility of fire safety signage, ensuring compliance with both the RRO and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.
