A fire safety risk assessment is a review of a building that checks for fire risks, and offers recommendations to make it safer.
As a rule, businesses should have a fire safety risk assessment carried out once every 5 years, with an annual review between assessments. In cases where a building has changed use or structure, or there are significantly more people using it, you may be required to conduct another assessment, too.
The assessment will look at your building’s construction, layout and use, the number of occupants, and the on-site electrical equipment. It will also take into account things like general housekeeping, escape routes, and emergency lighting.
The idea is that the assessment looks at how likely it is that a fire can be prevented, and if it should happen, that everyone can safely and quickly exit the building to avoid injury.
At Northants Testing, our experts have a wealth of experience in carrying out fire safety risk assessments, as well as recording their findings and reporting them back to you.
After any assessment, we will provide you with a written report of our findings in clear detail. We will also recommend a fire safety action plan, and help you implement it, if required.
It’s worth noting that failing to conduct fire safety risk assessments in your business could lead to hefty fines, or even prison sentences in extreme cases of negligence.
