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.

Shooting Ranges Fire Risk Assessment in Sheffield

Public safety • Stockroom risk • Fast fixed-price report

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

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 shooting ranges premises.

Shooting ranges present unique fire hazards due to the accumulation of unburnt propellant in ventilation systems and the combustible nature of acoustic baffling. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person must ensure that extraction systems are regularly cleaned to prevent ignition risks. A competent assessor will specifically inspect the arrester plates and backstops for structural integrity and verify that fire-resistant barriers effectively separate the firing line from the target area.
