What is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A Fire Risk Assessment is a methodical and thorough evaluation of your premises to identify fire hazards, assess the risk they pose to people, and implement measures to eliminate or reduce those risks. It is the cornerstone of fire safety management and a legal requirement for almost all non-domestic properties in the UK. Beyond compliance, a professionally conducted assessment is crucial for protecting lives, preventing injuries, safeguarding your property against damage, and ensuring business continuity. It provides a clear action plan to create a safer environment for everyone.
Our Assessment Follows the 5 Key Steps
Our qualified assessors follow the government-endorsed five-step process to ensure nothing is missed:
Identify Fire Hazards: Locating potential sources of ignition (heaters, naked flames), sources of fuel (waste materials, textiles, flammable liquids), and sources of oxygen.
Identify People at Risk: Determining who is most vulnerable, such as employees, visitors, lone workers, or individuals with disabilities, and where they are likely to be.
Evaluate and Reduce Risks: Assessing the level of risk and implementing appropriate fire safety measures, including fire detection systems, clear escape routes, and fire-fighting equipment.
Record, Plan, and Train: Documenting all significant findings in a detailed report, preparing a clear emergency plan, and providing necessary training to staff and occupants.
Review and Update:: Fire risks can change over time. We advise on a schedule for regular reviews to ensure your assessment remains current and effective.
