What Is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A fire risk assessment is an organised and methodical review of a property, the activities and people within it, evaluating the potential of a fire occurring, the harm it could cause and establishing whether the existing fire safety measures are adequate.
The main aims of a fire risk assessment are to;
- Identify potential fire risks and hazards
- Make recommendations on how identified risks can be reduced or removed
- Determine what fire safety measures, equipment, management policies or strategies should be implemented
- Identify people who are at risk

With our professional risk assessment services, we help to precisely evaluate the premises and produce actionable insights and tailored recommendations for safety measures that will help to mitigate risks.
