What is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A Fire Risk Assessment is a systematic inspection of a building to identify potential fire hazards, assess the risks to people and evaluate the adequacy of existing fire safety measures.
It involves examining the property’s fire safety arrangements, identifying people who may be at risk and recommending appropriate measures to prevent fires and support safe evacuation.
A professional assessment helps responsible persons understand potential weaknesses in their existing fire safety arrangements and determine what actions may be necessary to improve safety.
What Does Our Fire Risk Assessment Include?
Our Fire Risk Assessments consider the key elements of fire safety within your premises, including:
Fire Hazard Identification
Identifying potential sources of ignition, combustible materials, electrical hazards and other conditions that could cause or contribute to a fire.
Identification of People at Risk
Assessing who may be affected by a fire, including employees, residents, visitors, contractors and people who may require additional assistance during evacuation.
Emergency Escape Routes
Reviewing escape routes, fire exits, exit signage, emergency lighting and arrangements for safe evacuation.
Fire Detection and Fire-Fighting Equipment
Reviewing fire alarm systems, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and other relevant fire safety provisions.
Fire Doors and Compartmentation
Examining relevant fire doors, fire-resisting construction and compartmentation arrangements to identify potential weaknesses in fire and smoke protection.
