Fire Risk Assessment (Life Safety)
Fire Safety Risk Assessment
A fire risk assessment is an essential process that looks at what could cause harm to people from fire in your workplace. It helps identify potential fire hazards, assesses the likelihood of a fire starting, and determines whether your current safety precautions are adequate or if further steps need to be taken.
The goal is simple: ensure the safety of everyone who uses your premises by evaluating fire risks and putting the right measures in place to reduce or eliminate those risks.
Fire risk isn’t just about the chance of a fire happening, it’s also about the potential consequences if it does. This means considering things like how easily a fire could spread, how quickly it could be detected, and how safe and accessible your escape routes are.
