Fire Risk Assement needed for small home based beauty clinic?

Featured Replies

Hi. Would I need to do a Fire Risk Assessment for my home-based beauty clinic that I run from my detached garage at the bottom of my garden? It's just me, no staff. 
Thanks for your help.

Yes. The law also changed on 1st October meaning you must have a written FRA no matter how small you are or if you have employees or not.

Here is the up to date guide to the law as of 1/10/23: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/651567fe7c2c4a001395e180/14.310_HO_How_To_Guide_FINAL_RX_v04_.pdf

Here is the FRA guide for small premises: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/making-your-small-non-domestic-premises-safe-from-fire

If you were just cutting hair in an unadapted room of your house that normally was a living or dining room it might be diffferent
