National coverage with internal assessors, supported by digital reporting and prioritised compliance action plans.

Fire poses a risk to every organisation, from life safety to asset protection, including buildings, equipment, and critical data.

UK legislation requires employers and duty holders to carry out a thorough fire risk assessment to protect building occupants and others in the vicinity by a competent person. Compliance is not optional—it’s a legal obligation.

Zeta delivers expert-led, nationwide support in fire safety and risk management, working with clients across sectors to assess, advise, and implement effective fire safety controls. Our Account Managers, Engineers, Consultants, and Assessors work as part of your team, providing tailored services that help you meet fire safety duties with confidence.

Since the introduction of the Fire Precautions Regulations in 1997 and later the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, fire safety in the UK has moved to a model of self-compliance. Businesses with five or more employees—or those operating licensed premises—must conduct and maintain a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment.

Zeta supports clients by delivering structured, legislation-aligned reviews that identify hazards, assess risk, and recommend improvements. As one of the UK’s trusted fire risk assessment companies, we operate with clarity, professionalism, and an enforcement-led understanding of compliance.

When to Book a Fire and Risk Assessment

A failure to comply with the Fire Safety Order can result in severe consequences, including site closures, prosecution, unlimited fines, or imprisonment. A fire and risk assessment must be reviewed:

  • After significant changes to your premises or staffing
  • Following any fire-related incident
  • When introducing new risk factors
  • As part of an ongoing regular review process to ensure continued compliance

To avoid disruption and demonstrate your legal compliance, schedule a review as soon as risks or changes are identified.
