Managing fire safety within buildings can vary greatly from one building to another. Depending on the nature of the building and its characteristics of its occupants, one would need to apply different measures

Different industries and activity clusters present different requirements and challenges in regards to fire risk. An experienced, knowledgeable and competent fire risk manager needs to plan beyond legal compliance in order to ensure effective safety of building tenants, workers and visitors, as well as protecting the building and operational assets.

Fire Risk Assessments carried out by a duly competent person, capable of identifying hazards and risks, and determining suitable mitigation measures is a fundamental operational requirement.

Furthermore, beyond a suitable and sufficient risk assessment, human factors are a top priority in fire risk management. Training people in fire prevention and emergency preparedness and response is an indispensable requirement of fire risk management, minimising potential lives at risk and damage to the buildings and property.

Like all other aspects of operational risk, in Fire Risk Management, no single activity, item of equipment, fire system or procedure is able to provide a singular solution that is both suitable and sufficient. FRM requires a managed system that is properly properly designed, planned, implemented and maintained in order to provide the best levels of safety and peace of mind.
