Risk Assessment Description:

This free E-Bike and E-Scooter Charging and Storage fire risk assessment template is designed for facilities managers, landlords, and employers who provide charging and storage for electric personal mobility devices. Whether you’re managing a residential block, office building, or commercial garage, this E-Bike and E-Scooter fire risk assessment helps you identify lithium‑ion battery hazards, understand how fires can start and spread, and implement control measures that meet the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and latest guidance from the London Fire Brigade (GN103) and the Department for Transport.

The template covers key fire risks such as thermal runaway during charging, electrical faults, overloaded circuits, inadequate ventilation, storage of damaged batteries, and fire spread to surrounding materials. It also includes controls for safe charging locations, dedicated fire detection, water‑based suppression, segregation of battery packs, regular inspection of chargers and cables, and clear policies for battery disposal.

Use this template for:

  • Premises fire risk planning – quickly assess fire hazards associated with e‑bike and e‑scooter charging and storage.
  • Staff and user briefings – provide actionable safety instructions and signage.
  • Compliance documentation – demonstrate adherence to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, BS 9999, and relevant electric vehicle charging guidance.

Each identified risk includes a concise hazard statement, a 5‑point likelihood‑severity rating, and an HTML bulleted list of control measures referencing BS EN 50604‑1, BS 5839‑1, and London Fire Brigade recommendations.

Fully editable and shareable – customise hazards, add site‑specific risks, adjust control measures, and download as a PDF for records or share with your fire safety team.

Compliant with: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, BS 9999:2017, BS EN 50604‑1 (Electric vehicle charging infrastructure), and London Fire Brigade Guidance Note GN103 (Charging and storage for electric powered personal vehicles).

What's the difference between a risk assessment form and a risk assessment template?

A risk assessment form is the blank document; a risk assessment template is a pre-filled form ready to customise. Our generator gives you both - a free interactive form you fill in plus over 2500 pre-written templates you can customise to your specific workplace.

Do I need to create an account to use the risk assessment templates?

You can build and preview a risk assessment without an account. To download the PDF you'll need a free account - it takes less than a minute, costs nothing, and also lets you save documents to your dashboard, edit them later, and share them for digital signatures.

Can I customise the risk assessment templates to my workplace?

Yes - fully. Edit hazards, control measures, persons at risk, likelihood and severity ratings, PPE requirements, and review schedules. Each template is a starting point you tailor to your specific operation.

How many risks can I add to a single risk assessment?

The number of risks (hazards) you can include in one assessment depends on your plan: guests get unlimited risks, Free accounts unlimited risks, Standard unlimited risks, Pro unlimited risks, and Enterprise unlimited risks per assessment.

How often should I update my risk assessment?

Whenever there is reason to believe the assessment is no longer valid - after workplace changes, near-misses, accidents, new equipment, new substances, or new processes. HSE guidance recommends an annual formal review at minimum.

What is the HSE 5-step risk assessment process?

Step 1: Identify the hazards. Step 2: Decide who might be harmed and how. Step 3: Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions. Step 4: Record findings and implement them. Step 5: Review the assessment and update if necessary. Our interactive generator walks you through all 5 steps.
