Local data at a glance
Woking in the Surrey comparison
Raw totals reflect service demand as well as population, roads, land use, premises and reporting. They must not be interpreted as a safety league table.
The population-context figure combines the 2025 incident count with the Census 2021 population of 103,943. It is descriptive context, not a current risk rate or a measure of compliance.

Fire risk assessment considerations in Woking
A local incident total cannot define the assessment scope. The building’s use, people, layout, construction, management and existing fire precautions remain decisive.
Multi-tenant offices
Shared landlord systems, fit-outs and several employers require cooperation and a clearly defined assessment boundary.
Residential blocks
Common parts, flat entrance doors, compartmentation and evacuation strategy should be assessed using the appropriate residential method.
Retail and hospitality
Public access, changing layouts, kitchens and late operating hours can affect hazards and management controls.
