Fire Risk Assessment
What is a Fire Risk Assessment? A careful look at your premises and the people who use them, from a fire prevention perspective. It's about understanding the potential risks, then improving your fire safety precautions to keep people safe.
Fire safety training educates on the basic science of a fire – such as how it develops and spreads – the different types of firefighting equipment, what to do and what not to do when you identify a fire, and how to evacuate safely.
Fire Risk Assessment
From 1st October 2006 it became a legal requirement for persons responsible for, or with a degree of control over a premises, to carry out a fire risk assessment. The legislation applies to virtually all types of premises, other than domestic properties occupied by a single family.
The FRA should consider numerous aspects including:
- The construction and layout of the building, its use (ie. Industrial, commercial, sleeping accommodation etc.) and provision of escape routes.
- Provision of automatic fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, signage and fire-fighting equipment
- The number of persons using the building and any special considerations such as age, mobility etc.
- Provision of staff training.
- Storage of hazardous materials
- Testing of electrical installations
The FRA should be retained by the “Responsible person” and periodically reviewed and updated where necessary.
