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.

Pizza Restaurants Fire Risk Assessment in Edinburgh

Commercial kitchen risk • Public safety • Same-week visits

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

Restaurants and cafés combine commercial cooking, high public footfall and often a mix of dining and storage areas — a combination that demands a thorough fire risk assessment. HawkSwift's assessors pay particular attention to your kitchen, extraction, and escape routes so you can trade with confidence and satisfy your Fire Authority and insurer. This page is tailored specifically to pizza restaurants premises.

Pizza restaurants face significant fire risks due to the intense heat generated by wood-fired or deck ovens and the accumulation of grease in extraction systems. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the 'responsible person' must ensure these cooking appliances are regularly maintained and that ductwork is cleaned to prevent flammable build-up. A competent assessor will specifically verify the thermal efficiency of oven insulation and check that fire suppression systems, such as Ansul units, are serviced and positioned correctly to tackle Class F fires involving cooking oils.
