What is Fire Risk Assessment?

The fire risk assessment has become the cornerstone of fire safety in practically all non-domestic buildings since 2006. Previously, the fire and rescue department would come by and provide fire certifications from any of the ordinary places of business, basically acting as free consultants. All of that has changed, and the fire risk assessment is now the true cornerstone for a secure structure.

To avoid fire danger, keep a close eye on your property and the individuals who use it. This is so that you can assess the hazards and enhance your fire protection measures to keep people safe.

In general, evaluations are carried out in five steps:

  • Detecting the presence of fire dangers.
  • Detecting persons who are at danger.
  • Evaluate, eliminate, or minimize the hazards.
  • All results should be documented, an emergency plan should be developed, and training should be provided.

It is a good idea for managers to maintain the following records in buildings of all sizes:

  • Maintain, check, and test all fire safety tools, such as sprinklers, smoke detectors, fire alarms, emergency lights, and fire extinguishers.
  • Reports of any incidents
  • Fire risk evaluation
  • Precautions are done to prevent fires.
  • Documents from insurance firms or law enforcement
  • Fire drills for staff training, including drill dates,
  • Evacuation windows, takeaways, etc.
  • Information on how workers and contractors may prevent fires
  • Examination of fire-related occurrences.

 

To preserve such information in one location and within easy reach, it is advised to utilise a special fire safety file. Updates to the file must be made by the designated person in charge.

Risk assessment registration doesn’t have to be difficult. Risk considerations and choices about the structures required for control should be recorded in a straightforward working document.
