How We Work

Fire Risk Assessment Steps

1. Identify Fire Hazards: We conduct thorough inspections to identify concerns such as heaters, electrical equipment, combustible materials, blocked escape routes, and faulty wiring. We also assess individuals at risk, including employees, visitors, residents, and other occupants.
2. Evaluate Fire Risk: Our Team evaluates the likelihood of a fire starting and its potential outcomes, considering your property’s characteristics, activities, and current fire safety measures.
3. Evaluate Existing Fire Safety Measures: We assess your current fire safety precautions, including fire alarms, emergency lighting, fire extinguishers, fire doors, and policies/procedures, ensuring they are adequate and effective.
4. Implement Control Measures: Based on identified risks, we recommend the best fire safety measures, which may include upgrading equipment, providing staff training, creating evacuation plans, or modifying the physical space.
5. Record Findings: Significant findings about potential hazards and at-risk individuals are recorded in an action plan accessible via our online portal. Each finding is assigned a risk rating to prioritize issues and ensure safety.
6. Review and Update: We contact you annually to update your fire risk assessment, ensuring it remains relevant and effective, especially when significant changes to your property or activities occur.

All assisting you to safeguard your premises and the lives of those within it.
