Fire Safety Risk Assessments

In order to comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, it is necessary to compile a specific fire related risk assessment. The fire risk assessment will require you to consider all your employees and any other persons who may be affected by a fire within your workplace. The assessment must be documented when more than five people are employed in the workplace.

The assessment should: -

• Identify fire hazards such as combustible materials, sources of ignition, fuel or oxygen.
• Identify everyone who is at risk, in and around the building.
• Consider the potential of a fire starting.
• Calculate the risk of a fire.
• Identify whether or not suitable means of alerting everyone of a potential fire are available.
• Include maintenance regimes for fire fighting equipment, fire alarms, lights etc.
• Establish whether or not suitable means of escape from the premises are available and accessible.
• Identify what training is required for staff and visitors.

Failure to compile a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment may result in the Fire Authorities taking enforcement action on employers or owners of premises. Citation plc will assist your organisation in compiling your Fire Risk Assessment and will provide guidance and advice to guarantee your compliance with the legislation.
