Fire Safety Assessments Greenwich
A fire risk assessment is an organised process that involves inspecting and reviewing a property in order to ascertain if there are any potential fire hazards, if they could cause harm and estimating the level of risk they pose.
The aim of this methodical and comprehensive review is to remove the identified risks and hazards, or reduce them to acceptable levels.
Fire Risk – the likelihood of a fire occurring and the possible consequences of that fire if it did happen.
Fire Hazard – any source of ignition that could lead to a fire such as faulty electrical wiring.
Who is Responsible for Fire Risk Assessments?
Under the 2005 Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, the legally defined Responsible Person must arrange and ensure that fire risk assessments are carried out, identify possible fire risks and make sure they are appropriately taken care of.
The ‘Responsible Person’ will be someone who has control over the premises, such as;
- The owner of the property
- The occupier
- The managing agent
Who Can Carry Out a Fire Risk Assessment?
The law stipulates that fire risk assessments must be carried out by a ‘competent person’ which does not necessarily mean a professional. However, fire risk assessments are not merely a box ticking exercise, they can literally mean the difference between life and death and so should be taken very seriously.
The best way to guarantee a thorough risk assessment is to outsource to professional fire risk assessment specialists who can handle everything for you in a way that is fast, safe, effective and affordable.
