Fire Risk
Assessment
A fire risk assessment is a systematic process used to identify, evaluate, and manage the fire hazards in a workplace or building. The goal is to minimise the fire risk and ensure the occupants’ safety.
Conducting a fire risk assessment is crucial for ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations and for protecting the safety of everyone in the building.
Key Steps:
Identify Fire Hazards:
Examine the premises to identify potential sources of ignition (like electrical equipment), combustible materials (such as paper, wood, or chemicals), and any other fire hazards.
Identify People at Risk:
Determine who may be at risk during a fire, including employees, visitors, contractors, and individuals with disabilities who may need assistance.
Evaluate Risks:
Assess the likelihood and potential impact of identified hazards. This involves considering factors such as the materials’ nature, the premises’ layout, and existing fire safety measures.
Implement Control Measures:
Based on the assessment, recommend measures to reduce or eliminate risks. This may include improving fire detection systems, installing fire extinguishers, ensuring clear evacuation routes, and conducting regular maintenance.
Record Findings:
Document the assessment process, including identified hazards, evaluated risks, and implemented control measures. This documentation is essential for compliance and future reference.
Review and Update:
Regularly review and update the fire risk assessment, especially after any changes to the premises or operations or following a fire incident.
