WHAT IS A FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT?
A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement that allows you to be fully compliant with the legislation. The assessment provides a way to determine any potential risks that could cause a fire in the workplace. A series of factors are analysed in order to assess the likelihood of a fire emergency. Following the assessment, a list of precautions will be determined in order to minimise the fire risks.
Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, business owners are legally required to have a Fire Assessment carried out by an expert at their premises. A fire Assessment will ensure that all of your staff and business assets are safe by minimising all the risk associated with fire. Based in Leeds we have helped many businesses with their fire needs by ensuring they remain compliant and safe.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT?
During a fire risk assessment, the assessor will identify any factors that could contribute to people being harmed during a fire emergency. The assessor will:
✔ Check any hazards or potential sources of ignition
✔ Identify whether a potential fire could harm people during their escape
✔ Recommend potential actions that could minimise the risk of hazards
✔ Put together an action plan containing a list of actions that could be taken to resolve any existing problems.
