Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist enables owners and operators of small accommodation premises to confirm that all essential fire safety measures and evacuation procedures are in place, functional, and meet legal duties. It is designed for guest houses and B&Bs where guests sleep on the premises and staff numbers are limited.

Use this checklist for:

  • Regular fire safety inspections
  • Pre‑arrival readiness checks
  • Fire drill verification
  • Compliance verification with legislation

It is fully editable and shareable, allowing you to tailor the document to the specific layout, number of rooms, and facilities of your property while maintaining a consistent safety standard. The template can be adapted for different floor plans, additional fire‑protective equipment, or bespoke evacuation routes.

By completing the checklist you demonstrate compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, ensure guests are protected, and reduce the risk of fire‑related incidents. The checklist also supports the responsible person in meeting duties under the Fire Safety Order, such as maintaining fire risk assessments, providing adequate detection and alarm systems, and ensuring clear escape routes.

The checklist should be completed at least annually, or whenever a significant change occurs to the building layout, occupancy levels, or fire safety equipment. Record any findings and corrective actions promptly to maintain compliance and protect guests. This tool assists the responsible person in demonstrating due diligence during inspections by fire authorities or insurance audits.

Compliant with: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
