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.

Every office and workplace with employees needs a current fire risk assessment. While generally lower-risk than sleeping or public premises, offices still require documented evidence of safe escape routes, working detection, and clear emergency procedures. HawkSwift delivers fast, fixed-price office assessments with a full report within 48 hours. This page is tailored specifically to marketing & pr agencies premises.

Marketing and PR agencies typically feature open-plan offices with high densities of electrical equipment, including computers, servers, and AV presentation setups, creating significant ignition risks. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person must ensure these electrical loads do not pose hazards and maintain clear escape routes. A competent assessor will specifically inspect the separation of client meeting rooms from main work areas to verify that fire-resisting doors and partitions effectively prevent rapid smoke spread, ensuring safe evacuation for all staff and visitors.
