Fire Risk Assessments
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 mandates that the responsible person designated under the Order must conduct a comprehensive fire risk assessment to identify, manage, and reduce the risk of fire and to implement appropriate fire safety measures based on the findings of the assessment. Regular reviews and updates of the risk assessment are vital, especially when there are changes in the premises or the number of occupants. Non-compliance with the Order’s provisions on risk assessments can result in serious legal consequences.
Fire Safe Kent offers professional fire risk assessments to help you identify potential hazards and vulnerabilities, enabling you to take informed steps to prevent fire-related incidents. These evaluations are crucial in understanding and mitigating the risks associated with fire, ensuring the safety of your premises and its occupants as is required by law.
You must keep a written record of your risk assessment if you have more than 5 employees.
Our fire risk assessment service includes a review and advice about the following key components:
- Identification of Hazards: Recognising sources of ignition, fuel, and oxygen.
- Identification of People at Risk: Consideration of everyone who may be at risk, especially vulnerable individuals like the elderly or disabled.
- Evaluate and Act: Evaluation of the risks and decisions on the necessary fire safety measures to adhere to, to minimise or eliminate those risks.
- Record, Plan, Inform, Instruct, and Train: Documentation of significant findings and actions taken, preparation of an emergency plan, and provision of information, instruction, and training to employees.
- Review: Regularly review the risk assessment and update it as necessary, especially after significant changes to the premises or work processes.
