Fire Risk Assessment

A fire risk assessment is a systematic approach reviewing all potential sources of fire risk, how the spread of smoke and heat can be minimised and focuses on the safety in case of fire of all ‘relevant persons’.

The assessment should pay particular attention to those at special risk, such as young persons, the mobility impaired and must include consideration to any dangerous substances likely to be on the premise. You will also need to produce an emergency plan.
