What is a Fire Risk Assessment?
Under the Safety, Health & Welfare at Work Act 2005, every employer must identify the hazards in the workplace, including the fire risks.
This must be site specific to your business premises and will therefore require our assessor to conduct a survey of your building or place of work where he/she will identify and assess these hazards.
The resulting report must be presented in a written format as a Fire Risk Assessment. In addition we will present the written report with photographic evidence to offer a client a higher understanding of what needs to be achieved.
Why should a company carry out a Fire Risk Assessment?
Companies must also comply with specific fire legislation including the Fire Services Act 1981 and 2003, the Building Regulations 2006 and the various following Codes of Practice:-
- IS2318:2009
- IS3217:2009
- IS291:2002/EN3
- NFPA 96
- NFPA 17A
Conducting a competent Fire Risk Assessment is imperative as this will help reduce the potential of a business harming the environment or those who work in, or visit a business. Operating regular Fire Risk Assessments may cost more in the short term to improve working conditions, but will protect a business from the risk of fines or being sued by an employee or member of the public.
If a business for whatever reason changes the internal layout or design which deviates from the original intended design and/or internal layout of the original building, then a Fire Risk Assessment should be carried out immediately.
