Fire Risk Assessment – We can help!

Fire Risk Assessment

As the responsible person, you MUST carry out and regularly review a Fire Risk Assessment of the premises. This will identify what you need to do to prevent fire and keep people safe. You must keep a written record of your Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) if your business has 5 or more people.

Carrying out the assessment

Identify the fire hazards
Identify people at risk
Evaluate, remove or reduce the risks
Record your findings, prepare an emergency plan and provide training
Review and update the fire risk assessment regularly

You’ll need to consider:

Emergency routes and exits
Fire detection and warning systems
Fire fighting equipment
The removal or safe storage of dangerous substances
An emergency fire evacuation plan
The needs of vulnerable people, for example the elderly, young children or those with disabilities
Providing information to employees and other people on the premises
Staff fire safety training

Help with the assessment

You can do the fire risk assessment yourself with the help of standard fire safety risk assessment guides.

If you don’t have the expertise or time to do the fire risk assessment yourself, you need to appoint a ‘competent person’ to help. For example, a professional risk assessor.

Your local fire and rescue authority might be able to give you advice if you’re not sure your risk assessment’s been carried out properly. However, they can’t carry out risk assessments for you.
