What is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A fire risk assessment is a detailed process that evaluates potential fire hazards and risks within a space. While typically conducted by fire safety professionals, it can also be carried out by individuals with the right training. The assessment aims to identify fire hazards and risks and establish a plan to mitigate or eliminate them.
In the UK, a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) systematically evaluates a building’s fire hazards, associated risks, and existing control measures. The purpose is to safeguard occupants and visitors while reducing the likelihood of fire-related incidents. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires fire risk assessments for most domestic and non-domestic properties.
