Fire Safety Risk Assessments

In order to comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it is necessary to complete a specific fire-related risk assessment. The fire risk assessment takes into consideration all employees and any other persons who may be affected by a fire within the workplace and surrounding areas. The assessment must be documented when more than five people are employed in the workplace.

Walker Health & Safety Services can carry out a fire risk assessment and will check that principles of prevention have been applied.

 

The principles of a Fire Risk Assessment are:

  1. Avoiding risks.
  2. Evaluating the risks which cannot be avoided.
  3. Combating the risks at source.
  4. Adapting to technical progress.
  5. Replacing the dangerous by the non-dangerous or less dangerous.
  6. Developing a coherent overall prevention policy that covers technology, organisation of work, and the influence of factors relating to the working environment.
  7. Giving collective protective measures priority over individual protective measures.
  8. Giving appropriate instructions to employees.

Failure to compile a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment may result in the local fire authority taking enforcement action on employers or owners of premises. Walker Health & Safety Services will assist the organisation in compiling the fire risk assessment. We will provide guidance and advice to guarantee your compliance with the legislation.

    Emma at Walker Health has gone out of her way to get to know us as a business and to deliver a service that we need. Phone calls about needs and requirements plus conversations to reassure me our colleagues would be treated as the assets they are and that we would have practical and workable recommendations. A great DSE assessment process, photos of before and after with guides to colleagues to re-set working areas themselves, quality and meaningful reports taking into account underlying conditions, forms to use afterwards to record dates of implementation, and links to suitable equipment. Thanks Emma.

    Should you be unfamiliar with the scary and serious world of health and safety but need a professional but practical assessment of your situation, I cannot recommend Emma at Walker Health and Safety highly enough. While she provided me with a detailed report, she took considerable effort to tackle my many detailed questions afterwards, all of which were delivered with professionalism and a smile. For her, nothing was too much trouble.
