Fire Risk Assmessments

For fire to burn, it requires certain ingredients such as air (oxygen), fuel, and a source of ignition. The presence of all these three ingredients increases the risk of a fire.

Items in the workplace that could ignite a fire include sparks from gas welding machines, exposed electric cables, worn bearings, naked flames, electrical equipment, drive belts, and hot surfaces.

Items that could act as sources of fuel include gases and liquids such as paraffin, petrol, and methylated spirits, solid materials such as wood, paper, plastics, rubber, and foam

Our fire risk assessors will move around your business premises and identify all fire hazards.

Fire can spread easily throughout a building, trapping people inside. With this in mind, a professional fire risk assessor will try to identify people who might be at risk during a fire outbreak.

This includes determining whether a building has accessible fire escape routes or openings. Other important aspects to consider include the number of people who work in your business premises, procedures for warning people to evacuate in the event of a fire, fire safety drills, and number of customers who visit your business every day.
