    Your Legal Duty

    Is a Fire Risk Assessment a Legal Requirement?

    Yes. In Scotland, a written fire risk assessment is a legal duty for almost all non-domestic premises — not a recommendation.

    It's the law in Scotland

    Under Part 3 of the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the duty holder of any non-domestic premises must carry out and maintain a written fire safety risk assessment.

    Who is the 'duty holder'?

    Typically the employer, owner, landlord, or any person with control of the premises — including HMOs, short-term lets, hotels, offices, shops, care settings, schools and places of assembly.

    Penalties for non-compliance

    Failure to comply is a criminal offence. Sanctions can include enforcement notices, unlimited fines, and up to 2 years' imprisonment — alongside invalidated insurance and licensing risks.

    England & Wales law doesn't apply here

    The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers England and Wales only. Scottish premises are regulated under separate Scottish legislation — so make sure your assessor knows it.

    Beyond compliance, a current FRA protects lives, satisfies insurers, supports licensing applications and gives tenants, staff and guests confidence in your premises.
