Fire Risk Assessment

Fire safety is one of many safety issues with which the responsible person must deal with to minimise the risk of injury or death to staff or the public. 

Good management of fire safety is essential to:

• make sure that fires are unlikely to occur; 
• that if they do occur they are likely to be controlled or contained quickly, effectively and safely; or that, 
• if a fire does occur and grow, everyone in your premises is able to escape to a place of total safety easily and quickly. 

The risk assessment that you must carry

• will help you make sure that your fire safety procedures, prevention measures, and precautions (plans, systems and equipment) are all in place and working properly,
  
• and should identify any issues that need attention.
