Risk Assessments

EV charging risk assessments you can rely on

Protect your people, your assets, and your reputation with thorough, independent risk assessments tailored specifically to EV charging infrastructure.

Why It Matters

Risk assessments are not optional

EV charging introduces unique hazards to any site. Understanding and managing those risks is not just good practice, it is a legal and commercial necessity.

Fire Safety

EV charging creates thermal risks that traditional fire safety assessments simply do not cover. Lithium ion battery incidents require specialist understanding and targeted mitigation strategies.

Compliance

UK regulations around EV charging are evolving rapidly. A comprehensive risk assessment ensures you meet current requirements and positions you ahead of upcoming changes.

Liability

If something goes wrong and you cannot demonstrate that a proper risk assessment was carried out, the liability falls squarely on the responsible person. Documented assessments are your defence.

Insurance

Insurers increasingly require evidence of EV specific risk assessments before providing or renewing cover. Without one, you may face higher premiums or gaps in your policy.

Fire Safety Checks

EV charging installations introduce thermal and electrical hazards that standard fire risk assessments do not adequately address. Our specialist fire safety checks are designed specifically for sites with charge point infrastructure, giving you clear, actionable recommendations to reduce risk.

Thermal risk evaluation assessing charge point placement, cable management, and proximity to combustible materials

Emergency response planning with EV specific protocols for fire services, staff, and site users

Actionable recommendations prioritised by severity so you know exactly where to focus resources first

Suitable for all site types including car parks, depots, commercial premises, and residential developments

PPM Inspections

Planned preventative maintenance inspections are how you stay ahead of failure rather than reacting to it. Our certified experts inspect on a set cycle to the latest industry standards, catching wear, damage and drift before they take a charge point off line.

Certified EV specialists with deep knowledge of charge point hardware, wiring standards, and common installation faults

Latest standards compliance inspecting against current IET Wiring Regulations and EV specific guidance

Defect identification catching issues from improper earthing to inadequate protection devices before they become dangerous

Independent and impartial with no ties to any installer or manufacturer, so findings are always objective

EICR Reports

When stakeholders, insurers, or regulators ask for evidence that your EV charging infrastructure is safe and compliant, a detailed EICR is exactly what you need. Our reports are thorough, clearly written, and designed to give every reader the information they need.

Stakeholder ready reports formatted for boards, landlords, insurers, and local authorities with executive summaries

Photographic evidence documenting the condition of every element inspected for a complete audit trail

Compliance evidence clearly mapping findings to specific regulations and standards so you can demonstrate due diligence

Remediation roadmap with prioritised actions, estimated timescales, and guidance on addressing each finding
