Our team’s real-world experience in emergency situations gives us a unique insight into the risks businesses face and how best to manage them.
As a Community Interest Company wholly owned by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Authority, we reinvest our profits into community safety initiatives. This means our clients not only benefit from expert guidance but also contribute to building safer, more resilient communities.
I’m Jo Scarth, Operations Director at 3SFire CIC, where I’ve proudly been part of the team for over 10 years. My role gives me the opportunity to work alongside a dedicated group of professionals, each with frontline fire service experience. Our team deliver high-quality fire risk assessments, training and consultancy services to businesses and organisations in Hampshire and beyond.
We understand that every business is different. That’s why we take the time to tailor our training and assessment services to meet the unique needs of each client—from small independent businesses to complex commercial premises.
If you're looking for a reliable, experienced partner to support your fire safety responsibilities, we would love to hear from you.
Fire Safety Compliance in 2025 – What Every Business Needs to Know
Recent updates to UK legislation—most notably Section 156 of the Building Safety Act, which came into force on 1 October 2022—mean that:
- Every business, regardless of size, must complete and fully document a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA).
- Responsible Persons (RPs) must cooperate and share information in multi-occupied premises.
- Residential buildings with two or more domestic units must keep residents informed of fire risks and safety measures.
A robust FRA follows five essential steps:
- Identify hazards
- Identify people at risk
- Evaluate & reduce risk
- Record, plan, inform & train
- Review regularly
Done well, a fire risk assessment is far more than a legal checkbox—it saves lives, protects jobs, and shields businesses from costly penalties or disruption.
Need support? Our consultants turn dense regulations into clear, practical steps. We deliver on-site assessments and train your staff to ensure fire safety is embedded in everyday operations.
