Identification of Fire Hazards
The first step in an FRA is identifying potential fire hazards in your premises and who may be effected by them. This includes assessing the risk from electrical equipment, flammable materials, human activities, and environmental conditions. Each hazard is rated based on its likelihood and potential impact to prioritise remedial actions.
Risk to People
The FRA primarry concent is to identified hazards could affect people on-site. Various factors like occupancy, vulnerability, and physical location of individuals relative to hazards are evaluated. The goal is to understand who is at risk and how to protect them effectively. Evaluation and Action Once hazards and risks are identified and assessed, the FRA outlines action plans for mitigation. Recommendations could range from installing safety measures like fire alarms to modifying company policies to incorporate stricter guidelines on the handling of flammable materials to name but a few.
Monitoring and Review
An effective FRA is a living document that requires regular review and updates. Changes in the building layout, occupancy, or introduction of new hazards necessitate a re-assessment at the time to keep the FRA 'current' and 'suitable & sufficent'. By understanding these key components, the business is better equipped to appreciate the importance of a comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment.
