Role of Fire Safety Risk Assessment in UK

Page 1

Role of Fire Safety Risk Assessment in UK UK law requires that every business premises and every commercially owned building be subject to a regular Fire Risk Assessment in Essex & London. All of us know that non compliance is a breach of national law and thus punishable by fines and even confinement - but they might not fully understand the preventive and protective benefits that Fire Risk Assessment presents. Here, then, are the major ones: which should go some way towards promoting an understanding of the reasoning behind the laws. One of the most common causes of fire is simple lack of knowledge. If a person or company does not know how to spot danger signs in advance, places where fire is more likely to occur and so on, then the premises to which those people or companies are attached stands at a much higher risk of fire. Fire Risk Assessment Essex identifies these danger areas in advance - and so gives company lots of time to address them before a fire happens, than having to do the same thing in the aftermath of an event that may cause large destroy and loss to both lives and property. No buildings are the same - so having a trained fire safety officer conduct a proper Fire Risk Assessment on every individual building a company makes use of is the only way that company can be sure that their preventive strategies are in as nice order as feasible.


Some fires are impossible to prevent. In these cases, Fire Risk Assessment Essex addresses the other figure that can be reduced by a small foreknowledge: the percentage of destroy and loss of life caused by the average blaze. In the event of a fire that cannot be prevented, all of people die because they don't know what to do or where to go when fire breaks out. A proper Fire Risk Assessment will evaluate not the risks to a building in terms of fire danger, but also the risks to its occupants in the event that a fire breaks out. That means conducting a proper survey of the measures that are put in place to safely get people away from the building in the event of a fire and of the controls that are in place to limit a fire. The assessment will note number and condition of fire doors, location and type of Fire Fighting Equipment, and ease of escape for all usual occupants of a building. These things alone - the identification of potential hazards and the streamlining of fire evacuation procedures - are to outline the actual value of the Fire Risk Assessment. Fires happen and when they happen to a building and to people that are unprepared, they kill. When they happen to buildings and people that have been trained, that are protected by acted-on recommendations from a fire safety risk assessment, they take far fewer lives and destroy a much smaller amount of property. The Fire Risk Assessment is the law and the law is there for everyone's protection. About Company: First Intervention Training Ltd (FIT) offers Fire Risk Assessment Training in London & Essex.
