A fire risk assessment is an organised and methodical look at the premises, the activities carried on within the
premises and the likelihood that a fire could start and cause harm to those in and around the premises.
The person deemed to be responsible
for fire safety is required to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks, in order that they can identify the
general fire precautions needed to comply with the legislation.
Through this
risk assessment process the principles of fire prevention which need to be applied are:
Avoidance of the risk
Evaluation of the risks which cannot
be avoided
Combating risks at source
Adapting to
technical progress
Replacing dangerous with non or less dangerous
Developing
an overall prevention policy
Giving collective measures priority over individual measures
Giving appropriate instructions
In addition to following the
broad principles set down in PAS79:2012 we will work with our clients to understand how the information provided from the
fire risk assessment will be managed and the remedial actions implemented. That way we can ensure that the information
we provide is in the most useful format.
