Stay Safe with Maple Fire Risk Reports

 A fire risk assessment is a process of identifying and assessing the fire hazards in a building or property. It provides guidance on how to manage and reduce the risk of fire with the aim of helping to prevent fires from occurring which can help to save lives in the event of a fire.

For example, a fire risk assessment might identify an electrical fire hazard in a certain area. The assessor may then recommend the installation of a suitable firefighting appliance, such as a CO2 fire extinguisher, and training for staff members on how to use the extinguisher. In an instance where a fire was to break out in this area, the fire extinguisher when correctly operated by the trained staff members may provide a means to tackle the fire in its early stages, reducing the overall impact of the fire, preventing risk to occupants and reducing damage to the property.

 Prevention is always better than cure and this is the remit and aim of a Fire Risk Assessment. Our assessments are meticulous and will often spot items that can go unnoticed on a daily basis but could increase the risk of fire. 

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO)

• Responsible Persons must now record the fire risk assessment in full (including all the findings) and the fire safety arrangements for your premises in all circumstances.
• There is now a legislative requirement that, where the Responsible Person appoints a person to make or review the fire risk assessment on their behalf, that they must be ‘Competent’. 
• Section 156 of the Building Safety Act has increased the level of fine for offences in relation to not providing a copy of the fire risk assessment when requested from £1,000 to unlimited.
