What to Expect During a Fire Risk Assessment
1. An Initial Walkthrough of Your Premises
The assessment begins with a thorough walkthrough of your building. The assessor will look at how people use the space, the type of work carried out, and any existing fire safety measures in place. This first step helps identify potential risks in real-world conditions rather than just on paper.
2. Identifying Hazards and People at Risk
Next, the assessor will review potential fire hazards—such as sources of ignition, flammable materials, and areas where fire could spread quickly. They will also consider who may be at risk, including employees, visitors, residents, or vulnerable individuals who may need extra assistance in an emergency
3. Reviewing Current Fire Safety Measures
Your existing precautions will be carefully examined. This includes fire alarms, extinguishers, escape routes, emergency lighting, and signage. The assessor will check if your arrangements meet the latest legal requirements and industry best practices, highlighting any gaps or improvements needed
4. Receiving a Clear Report and Next Steps
At the end of the assessment, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining the findings, including recommended actions to stay compliant and improve safety. Our team ensures the guidance is practical, easy to follow, and prioritised so you know exactly what to do next.
