WHO MUST HAVE A FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT?
Effectively managing fire risks is a crucial aspect of property management. To safeguard against fire hazards, the initial step involves the identification of these potential risks, which is where a Fire Risk Assessment comes into play. A written Fire Risk Assessment isn't just best practice, it's a legal requirement for all businesses, including holiday rentals and blocks of flats. It serves as a systematic evaluation of potential fire hazards within your property, along with specifying the necessary measures to reduce risk.
At Pinks Fire Safety, we take pride in offering comprehensive Fire Risk Assessments, conducted by skilled assessors who possess in-depth knowledge and expertise in fire safety. Our assessment process begins with an on-site visit to your premises on the scheduled day, during which we meticulously evaluate your property, fire hazards, and those who may be at risk from these hazards.
A thorough Fire Risk Assessment should:
Identify the fire hazards specific to your property.
Determine individuals at risk.
Assess the potential fire risks.
Furnish you with a clear, written report featuring actionable recommendations.
Ensure periodic reviews and updates to keep your assessment current.
Following our site visit and assessment, you will receive a comprehensive written report encompassing all aspects of the assessment. This report includes:
A management overview.
Visual documentation of identified risks.
A summary of fire risks and guidance on mitigating or eliminating risks to individuals within the building.
