Fire Risk Assessment

Fire is considered a significant risk in any business activity but through the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, employers and persons in control of premises have a specific duty to carryout an assessment of the risk of fire and the arrangements to deal with emergency situations. This risk assessment will establish the current level of risk from fire and the fact that those in the buildings can be evacuated safely. The assessment will identify what needs to be done to significantly reduce the risk of harm/injury and property damage. The emergency exit doors. The emergency exit routes. The Assembly Point. The location of your fire containment doors. The location and position of Fire Extinguishers. The location of the service isolation points (e.g. Gas and Electrical shutoff). The location of any particularly hazardous areas within the premises (e.g. stored hazardous chemicals or flammables). This assessment must be communicated to all the employees who maybe affected by the content of the assessment.
