What is a Fire Risk Assessment?

A fire risk assessment is a thorough evaluation of a property to identify potential fire hazards, assess the likelihood of a fire occurring, and determine the potential impact on people and property. It involves inspecting the premises, reviewing fire safety measures, and recommending actions to avoid risks. 

This assessment ensures compliance with safety regulations and helps create a safer environment by addressing vulnerabilities before they can cause harm. Conducting regular fire risk assessments is crucial for protecting lives, assets, and ensuring peace of mind.

What does a Fire Risk Assessment involve?

  • Inspecting the property to identify fire hazards
  • Evaluating the risk of a fire occurring
  • Assessing the potential impact of a fire
  • Reviewing existing fire safety measures and emergency plans
  • Recommending improvements for enhanced safety
  • Ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations

Who should have them?

Every business and residential property owner, including Airbnbs and rental properties, should have a fire risk assessment, especially those responsible for multi-occupancy buildings. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has a legal duty to implement comprehensive fire safety arrangements. 

This includes planning, organisation, control, monitoring, review, arrangements for vulnerable people, and de-graded systems planning. Effective fire safety management ensures compliance with legislation, protecting lives and property.

Emergency Plan for Clients

Fire emergency plans ensure that in the event of a fire, everyone, including contractors, relevant persons, and employees, knows the actions to take for a safe evacuation. The plan and fire risk assessment are available for inspection by enforcement officers.

Key elements include:

  • Familiarity with fire actions for all building occupants
  • Fire warning arrangements
  • Safe evacuation procedures
  • Assembly at a designated safety point
  • Trained staff to manage evacuations and ensure no one is left behind
  • Assistance for individuals unable to self-evacuate
  • Prevention of re-entry until the building is safe

At Fire Stoppers, we take a comprehensive approach which guarantees compliance with fire safety regulations and enhances overall safety.
