Do warehouses and industrial units need a fire risk assessment?

Yes. Any workplace, including warehouses, factories and industrial units, must have a current fire risk assessment under the RRO 2005. The higher fire load and longer escape distances make a thorough assessment especially important.

Do you assess storage of flammable or hazardous materials?

Yes. Our assessors review the storage, handling and separation of flammable and dangerous substances, along with racking layout, travel distances and detection, giving you a clear plan to control the risk.

How much does a warehouse fire risk assessment cost?

Most warehouses and industrial units fall into the Standard tier at £549. Smaller units may qualify for Fast Track (£349); very large or high-hazard sites may need Enhanced. The quote form gives your exact price.

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 marinas & boat yards premises.

Marinas and boat yards present unique fire safety challenges due to the presence of flammable fuels, confined engine spaces, and the proximity of vessels to water. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the 'responsible person' must manage risks associated with fuel storage, electrical installations on pontoons, and marine engine maintenance. A competent assessor will specifically inspect the integrity of shore power connections and the segregation of fuel storage areas to prevent fire spread across the water.
