A fire risk assessment identifies fire safety gaps and compliance issues. It evaluates physical fire protection systems as well as emergency procedures and staff training. Buildings that require assessment include factories, residential buildings, retail shops, offices, and public facilities. Assessments provide recommendations and safety ratings. They help reduce fire risk and demonstrate due diligence to insurance underwriters. Experts can identify arson risks and ensure measures are in place to mitigate those risks.

Fire Risk Assessment
Why have a Fire Risk Assessment
Fire Risk Assessment are at the very core of any organization’sfire safety obligations.
Many people mistakenly think that fire safety management is simple, and have their own views
on how to comply with their obligations. However, without an intimate knowledge of the
dynamics of fire, human behaviour that causes fire, and how people react once an incident
occurs, this approach is asking for trouble.
What’s vital for any business is an accurate assessment, which is based on experience and
expertise, followed by an effective plan of action that is delivered in a reasonable timescale.
Many organizations choose to carry out their own fire risk assessments. This isn’t technically a
problem, as long as the personnel carrying out the Fire Safety Audits are suitably trained and
experienced, and the government doesn’t require you to have a professional to carry it out.
However, getting it wrong can lead to very severe consequences, so you may feel that you’d like
some expert input. At ISO Institute, we can carry out audits of your fire risk assessments, to
help you assess whether yours is fit for purpose.
Fire safety audits are undertaken for a variety of reasons, such as to indicate compliance with
statutory requirements, as part of due diligence, pre-purchase or sale appraisal, risk
management,insurance assessment,gap analysis against current legislation or standards,or as
part of a comprehensive audit program. Fire Safety Audits may be initiated by the owner or
manager of the facility, to identify the gaps so that compliance can be initiated in a very focused
way.

6. In Depth Probe during Fire Risk Assessment
Fire Risk Assessment criteria are derivedfrom nominatedbenchmarks. The fire safety measures
to be audited are a combination of physical features and all other relevant fire safety actions,
provisions, and procedures, which define a level of safety to protect both life and asset in the
event of fire. Fire safety measures include both physical systems, such as the fire resistance of
the building structure, electrical systems, appliances, electro-mechanical systems, process
analysis, product & service life cycle study, fire feeds & fire starvation, fire breathing & fire
smothering, temperature accelerators & temperature de-accelerator, smoke detection system,
fire detection systems, fire mitigation measures and controls, as well as non-physical systems
such as emergency procedures and staff training programs.

Arson Protection through Fire Risk Assessment
● There are some very common sense basic steps you can take to reduce the risk of arson.
