Fire Risk Assessments
Fire risk assessments are systematic evaluations of premises to identify fire hazards, assess the likelihood of fire occurrence, and evaluate the potential consequences. These comprehensive reviews examine all aspects of fire safety, from ignition sources and combustible materials to evacuation procedures and fire safety equipment effectiveness.
Professional assessments provide detailed documentation of findings, prioritised recommendations for improvement, and clear action plans to address identified risks while ensuring compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and Scottish fire safety regulations.
