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.

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

Pubs and bars combine crowds, alcohol, late hours and often live entertainment or commercial kitchens — a demanding fire-safety environment. A robust fire risk assessment is essential for your premises licence and to keep customers and staff safe. HawkSwift's assessors review your bar, cellar, kitchen and escape routes to deliver a compliant, practical report. This page is tailored specifically to snooker & pool clubs premises.

Snooker and pool clubs present distinct fire safety challenges due to the high combustible load of felt-covered tables and upholstered furniture, alongside the risks associated with lighting and ventilation systems. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the 'responsible person' must ensure a thorough fire risk assessment accounts for these specific hazards. A competent assessor will critically evaluate the separation of the bar area from the playing hall, ensuring that fire-resisting doors and escape routes remain unobstructed by cues or sports equipment.
