The company carries out Fire Risk Assessments , which under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 every business in the UK is required to carry out and record, as well as acting on the findings and training all staff on basic fire safety. Fire Compliance & Safety Ltd carries out Risk Assessments in all types of industries, both large, multi-site and small. Industries include offices, shops, accommodation, residential care premises, outdoor events, healthcare properties, large factories, schools and complexes.

Ex-firefighter Bob Ward, Founder of Fire Compliance & Safety Ltd, stated the effects of this new law can be devastating and often just down to lack of knowledge and education, he explains: 'Many companies we visit have what they believe to be all that is required. Unfortunately down-loading a tick sheet and appointing an employee to carry out this work is not sufficient. A regular log book put together by a trained member of staff is the minimum requirement. With the liability resting on the shoulders of the business owner, it is vital they carry through their duty of care.'
