A fire risk assessment should look at and included all hazards within your premises and the risk of those hazards presenting a major issue. Once completed the assessment should look to eliminate or reduce the risks where possible by implementing suitable control measures.
There are 5 steps to forming a fire risk assessment which included:
Identify people at risk
Who is at risk? Staff, customer, visitors etc
Have you identified why they are at risk? Work alone, registered disabled, carry out safety critical work?
Identify any hazards
Have you identified all potential fuel, ignition and oxygen sources? i.e. uncontrolled flammables
Evaluate, remove or reduce the risks
Are your fire safety measures adequate? Staff training, fire detection, fire extinguishing equipment, escape routes, fire doors & signage.
Record your findings
Have all significant recordings been listed on your assessment and have you put a plan in place to reduce the risks?
Review and update the fire risk assessment as required
Do you carry out regular reviews of your assessment or have you altered your premises in anyway that means your original assessment should be reviewed.
