Does a one-chair hairdresser legally need a fire risk assessment?

Yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to every non-domestic premises, regardless of size. A one-chair salon still uses heated electrical appliances (straighteners, tongs, dryers), chemicals and has members of the public on the premises — so a suitable and sufficient assessment is a legal requirement, not optional.

What should a salon fire risk assessment cover?

It must cover your heated appliances and how they are switched off and stored, socket loading (salons routinely run many high-wattage devices on shared circuits), chemical and aerosol storage, the single escape route through a compact floorplate, and housekeeping around styling chairs and trolleys. We give you a written action plan tied to the RRO 2005.

How quickly can a hairdresser get the assessment done?

Most salons use our Fast Track tier (£199) with same-week appointments and the report delivered within 48 hours. You can book online in minutes and the assessor confirms a time that suits your salon's quiet period.

Dairy Farms Fire Risk Assessment in Plymouth

Built for Dairy Farms

High fire load • Racking & storage • Process risk reviewed

Reviewed by Chris Banks, Commercial Director & NEBOSH-qualified assessor · Last reviewed October 2026

Warehouses and industrial units present a distinct fire-safety challenge: high storage density, long travel distances to exits, and often machinery, forklifts and flammable materials. A thorough fire risk assessment is essential to protect staff and stock and to satisfy your insurer. HawkSwift's assessors understand industrial environments and produce practical, compliant reports. This page is tailored specifically to dairy farms premises.

Dairy farms face unique fire hazards due to the combination of combustible bedding materials, flammable agricultural chemicals, and high-voltage electrical equipment used in milking parlours. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person must ensure an up-to-date fire risk assessment considers the welfare of livestock and the accessibility of remote rural locations for fire services. A competent assessor will specifically inspect the separation of combustible hay and straw storage from livestock housing to prevent rapid fire spread.
