Why Dublin premises need a fire risk assessment
Under section 18(2) of the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003, a person in control of premises other than a dwelling house must take reasonable measures to guard against the outbreak of fire and to protect people on the premises. Employers must identify hazards and keep a written risk assessment under section 19 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. Dublin Fire Brigade has powers of inspection and enforcement, and also offers guidance for businesses. A fire risk assessment is the practical way to show you are managing these duties.
If you own, manage or control business premises, or you employ people, these duties apply to you. That includes offices, shops, pubs and restaurants, clinics, nursing homes, apartment blocks, schools, warehouses and community buildings. Not sure where you stand? Tell us about your building and we will talk you through it.
What our fire risk assessment covers
- fire hazards: sources of ignition, combustible materials and housekeeping
- people at risk, including anyone who needs extra help to evacuate
- means of escape: routes, final exits and signs
- fire detection and alarm, and the testing records behind them
- emergency lighting
- fire doors and compartmentation
- extinguishers and other firefighting equipment
- your fire safety register, staff awareness and fire drill records
How it works
- Tell us about your premises. Use, size, floors, occupants and any existing records.
- Site visit. We walk the building with you and check the points above.
- Written report. Findings, risks and recommendations for your premises.
- Prioritised actions. Urgent items are separated from planned improvements and routine maintenance, so you can assign them and track progress.
What is in your report
Your report sets out the hazards found, the people at risk, the fire safety measures already in place and a prioritised list of recommended actions you can hand to your maintenance team, landlord or managing agent. We are happy to answer questions once you have read it. See our guide on acting on your fire risk assessment report.
Common problems found in Dublin premises
Blocked or cluttered escape routes, fire doors wedged open or not closing, missing alarm or emergency lighting test records, storage close to heaters or electrics, obstructed or unsuitable extinguishers, staff who are unsure what to do when the alarm sounds, and building changes that were never reflected in the fire safety paperwork. Our guides on fire doors, fire exits and escape routes and emergency lighting show what to check.
What affects the cost of a fire risk assessment in Dublin
The size and number of floors, the use of the building, how many people use it, whether vulnerable people are present, shared or separately managed areas, the complexity of escape routes, whether plans and maintenance records are available, and the number of premises. Tell us about your building and we will give you a clear quote. See what affects fire risk assessment cost.

Also available in Dublin: Legionella and water safety
Legionella bacteria can grow in building water systems, including storage tanks, showers, spa pools and little-used outlets. Employers have duties under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 to manage that risk, and the HPSC national guidelines set out good practice. We carry out legionella risk assessments, arrange legionella sampling in Dublin with an independent accredited laboratory, and clean and disinfect cold water storage tanks. Read about water tank cleaning and disinfection or our legionella services.

Yes. We inspect, clean and disinfect cold water storage tanks in offices, schools, apartment blocks and care settings across Dublin city and county, subject to safe access.
Tanks should be inspected regularly and cleaned and disinfected when inspection shows it is needed, for example if there is sediment or debris, the lid is damaged, or the building has been closed or refurbished. Your legionella risk assessment sets the schedule for your building.
