Fire Risk Assessment
It is the responsibility of the person with control over premises, to carry out a fire risk assessment to identify any hazards associated with the structure, means of escape, detection and alarm systems, emergency procedures, training and provisions for fighting of fires. A fire risk assessment is a formal assessment of the hazards, identifying issues that require attention to reduce the likelihood of a fire and to ensure that in the event of a fire, everyone can leave the building in plenty of time to reach a safe place.
We will carry out an assessment of your premises, processes and systems to determine the likely risk of fire and make recommendations to reduce the risk. In carrying out this assessment, we will refer to legislation, guidance and British Standards, including:
- Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
- Building Regulations 2000 - Approved Document B, Fire Safety
- BS5588-11 : Fire precautions in the design, construction and use of buildings
Where flammable liquids or gases are in use, we will also consider the requirements of the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations and guidance from the HSE.
