What Must a Fire Risk Assessment Cover?

Identify Fire Hazards

Every compliant fire risk assessment begins with identifying potential fire hazards throughout your premises. This includes locating sources of ignition, combustible materials, and oxygen supplies. Recognising these elements, the components of fire ignition, positions your business to prevent fires before they start.

Evaluate, Remove or Reduce, and Protect from Risk

Following hazard identification, trained assessors evaluate both the probability of fire ignition and the potential consequences for occupants. Our consultants examine how fire could start and spread throughout your building. Based on this evaluation, we identify measures to eliminate or minimise fire hazards and risks to people, implementing targeted fire precautions specific to your premises.

Identify People at Risk

Comprehensive fire risk assessments from Northants Fire identify everyone potentially at risk during a fire emergency. This encompasses employees, customers, visitors, and contractors. Special consideration is given to vulnerable individuals who may require additional assistance during evacuation.

Record, Plan, Inform, Instruct and Train

All assessment findings and implemented actions are thoroughly documented, demonstrating regulatory compliance and maintaining transparent fire safety management. Responsible persons collaborate to develop effective emergency procedures, ensuring relevant stakeholders receive proper information and instruction. Comprehensive training ensures that everyone understands the appropriate responses to fire emergencies.

Review

Fire risk assessments require regular review to ensure their ongoing effectiveness. Periodic reviews ensure new hazards, building modifications, occupancy changes, or operational alterations are promptly identified and addressed. Updates should occur following significant premises changes or fire incidents to maintain assessment accuracy.
