Who needs a fire risk assessment in Barnet
The buildings we are asked to assess most often across EN4, EN5, N20, and what the assessment looks at in each.
-
Care and nursing homes
Most residents cannot evacuate unaided, so the assessment is built around fire compartments, staffing levels at night and progressive horizontal evacuation.
-
Schools and colleges
Kitchens, science rooms and workshops are the higher-risk rooms; the assessment also checks that the alarm plan suits the number of pupils on site.
-
GP surgeries and clinics
Patients who move slowly or need help, oxygen cylinders and treatment rooms all change what a safe evacuation looks like.
-
Offices over shop parades
Two businesses, one building: the assessment checks the separation between the shop and the office above and whether a fire below would be noticed upstairs.
When the plan is not to evacuate everyone
In a care home or a surgery the assessment has to answer a harder question than where the exits are: who needs help to leave, how many staff are on at night, and how long the compartments will hold. A fire strategy that assumes everyone walks out at once does not survive contact with a nursing home.
The written report sets out the evacuation strategy the building can actually support, and the alarm, emergency lighting and fire door work that strategy depends on. We can carry out that work too.

What moves a fire safety price, and where the money actually goes
Fire risk assessment in Barnet: your questions
Who is the Responsible Person for a school or surgery in Barnet?
Usually the employer or whoever has control of the premises, such as the governing body, the practice partners or the operator of a care home. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes that person responsible for having a suitable fire risk assessment carried out and for acting on it.
Does a care home assessment need anything a normal one does not?
It needs to cover how residents who cannot leave on their own will be moved to safety, which means compartments, staffing at night and the evacuation equipment available. Those are the points an inspector will look at first.
