Not in the way there is a fire risk assessment. But you do need to think it through, and write down how you reached your decisions.
The standard tier does not require a formal Martyn’s Law risk assessment; it requires four procedures that are reasonably practicable for your premises. Enhanced tier premises must consider which public protection measures are reasonably practicable and explain their approach in a document to the SIA.
It is short, it is dated, and it answers the question an SIA inspector is likely to ask: have you taken reasonable steps?
A fire risk assessment already looks at occupancy, escape routes and the responsible person — the same inputs. In South and West Wales we can do both in one visit through Fire Risk Assessments Pembrokeshire.
Before you pay anyone: the Home Office says premises do not need to buy consultancy to meet the standard tier, and its guidance, the SIA’s guidance and the ProtectUK training are free. Neither the Home Office nor the SIA endorses any provider, including us. The legal responsibility stays with the person responsible for the premises; we help with the work, we do not take the duty off you.
Send the venue type, the most people you would expect in at once, and how many sites you run. We will tell you which tier you look to be in and whether the free route is enough before quoting anything.
No. A fire risk assessment is a separate legal requirement under fire safety law. Martyn's Law asks for procedures (standard tier) or measures (enhanced tier). The two share information about the building and should not contradict each other.
