## Frequently asked questions

### Is a fire risk assessment a legal requirement?

For non-domestic premises, a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is a legal requirement. The assessment should reflect the premises, people at risk and work activities.

### Can the assessment cover more than one site?

Yes. SML supports single sites, multi-site operations and UK-wide portfolios with consistent reporting and local site context.
