FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT   

A written fire risk assessment is now a legal requirement for any place of work where 5 or more people are employed.  The fire risk assessment is carried out in order to identify the fire hazards and the risks associated with those hazards.  Therefore the risk assessment must look at:

• Sources of ignition

• People at risk

• Fire safety management within the building

• The escape route for building users in the event of a fire

• Fire precautions

  The employer must demonstrate that he/she has in place a fire management system and show that the staff has been properly trained to react should a fire break out.

  This is new legislation and the risk assessment is required even though the building may already have for example: a fire certificate or an entertainment license. 

  Depending on your particular needs we can either provide you with a professionally drafted fire risk assessment or we could arrange training for you and your staff.
