It is a legal requirement that the person responsible for the fire risk assessment must review the assessment regularly to make sure it’s up to date. Government guidance recommends that blocks of up to three storeys above ground and built in the last 20 years should have a fire risk assessment every 4 years and reviewed every 2 years. Higher risk blocks, for example those with more than 3 storeys or of an age, should have a risk assessment every 3 years and reviewed every year.  The highest risk buildings, the recommendation is annually.
