Steps for conducting a fire risk evaluation

In order to guarantee the safety of all individuals within a commercial establishment, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding and implementation of regular fire risk assessments. The potential causes of fires are diverse, and in our most recent article, we delve deeper into the topic of fire risk assessments and the responsibilities that fall upon those in charge of this aspect of workplace health and safety.

When a fire officer conducts an inspection of your building, you may be required to present the fire risk assessment and fire log safety book.

There is no requirement for a professional fire risk assessor to conduct an assessment for a commercial property. However, the individual selected for this position must have the necessary skills and confidence to perform the following tasks:

• Accurately determine the possible reasons for fire incidents within the workplace
• Evaluate appropriate safety precautions for the business, such as fire alarms
• Recognize individuals who may be in danger in the event of a fire
• Create a fire safety strategy
• Document all discoveries while formulating the action plan
• Execute the action plan as required
• Regularly update the fire risk assessment.

Generally, while it is convenient to have a written record of your fire risk assessment, companies are only obligated to document assessments for the following reasons:
– If they employ more than 5 individuals
– If the premises needs a license
– If the fire department has issued a notice mandating it.
