The 5 stages of your fire risk assessment

There are 5 key steps that your fire risk assessment will consist of, and they are as follows:

  • Identify all obvious fire hazards. For example, exploring how fires could start and potential flammable materials.
  • Identifying those who may be at risk. This can include employees, visitors, and any particularly vulnerable people such as children, the elderly and disabled people.
  • Evaluate the risks and act. This involves removing and reducing any risks found from steps 1 and 2 to secure people and your premise.
  • Record, plan and train. Keep a record of what risks you identified and what actions you have taken to reduce or remove them.  Make a clear plan of how to prevent fires and, should one start, you will keep people safe.  Make sure your staff know what to do in the event of a emergency and if necessary that they are trained for their roles.
  • Finally, regularly review your assessment to ensure it remains up to date and reflects and changes that may have occurred.
