Fire Risk Assessment

Why have a Fire Risk Assessment Fire Risk Assessment are at the very core of any organization’s fire safety obligations.

Many people mistakenly think that fire safety management is simple, and have their own views on how to comply with their obligations. However, without an intimate knowledge of the dynamics of fire, human behaviour that causes fire, and how people react once an incident occurs, this approach is asking for trouble.

What’s vital for any business is an accurate assessment, which is based on experience and expertise, followed by an effective plan of action that is delivered in a reasonable timescale.

Many organizations choose to carry out their own fire risk assessments. This isn’t technically a problem, as long as the personnel carrying out the Fire Safety Audits are suitably trained and experienced, and the government doesn’t require you to have a professional to carry it out.

However, getting it wrong can lead to very severe consequences, so you may feel that you’d like some expert input. At ISO Institute, we can carry out audits of your fire risk assessments, to help you assess whether yours is fit for purpose.

Fire safety audits are undertaken for a variety of reasons, such as to indicate compliance with statutory requirements, as part of due diligence, pre-purchase or sale appraisal, risk management, insurance assessment, gap analysis against current legislation or standards, or as part of a comprehensive audit program. Fire Safety Audits may be initiated by the owner or manager of the facility, to identify the gaps so that compliance can be initiated in a very focused way.

Fire safety measures include both physical systems, such as the fire resistance of the building structure, electrical systems, appliances, electro-mechanical systems, process analysis, product & service life cycle study, fire feeds & fire starvation, fire breathing & fire smothering, temperature accelerators & temperature de-accelerator, smoke detection system, fire detection systems, fire mitigation measures and controls, as well as non-physical systems such as emergency procedures and staff training programs.
