3 Fire Risk Assessment Principles of Risk Assessment What is a risk assessment? A risk assessment is nothing more than a careful examination of what, in your workplace, could cause harm to people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm Why is it needed? To reduce the possibility of injury and damage from unplanned events. What it involves The purpose of a risk assessment is not necessarily to quantify the risks that are present in the workplace but to identify them and then to: Eliminate Control Avoid Transfer or Accept the risks. The Risk Assessment Process The risk assessment process involves five simple steps, these are as follows: 1. Look for hazards 2. Decide who might be harmed and how
4 3. Evaluate risks and decide whether the existing precautions are adequate or whether more should be done. 4. Record your findings 5. Review your assessment and revise it if necessary Planning a Risk Assessment When you plan your risk assessment you need to decide if you can cover the whole of your work place in one session or if you need to do it in sections. The ideal team for carrying out a risk assessment is two people, one person who works in the area being assessed and one who doesn't. This will enable both to assess the risks from different angles. Hazard identification A hazard is defined as anything that can cause harm and risk is the chance, high or low, that somebody will be harmed by the hazard. Walk around your workplace and look afresh at what could cause harm. Ignore the trivial and concentrate on the significant hazards, which could result in serious harm or affect several people. Ask your employees or their representatives what they think. They may have noticed things that are not immediately obvious. Putting in into Context - Evaluation When you have identified the hazards you need to evaluate this risks involved. Decide who might be harmed and how. Don t forget: Young workers, trainees, new and expectant mothers, etc who may be at particular risk. Cleaners, visitors, contractors, maintenance workers, etc who may not be in the workplace all the time. Members of the public, or people you share your workplace with, if there is a chance they could be hurt by your activities.
5 Risk Controls Consider how likely it is that each hazard could cause harm. This will determine whether or not you need to do more to reduce the risk. Even after all precautions have been taken, some risk usually remains. What you have to decide for each significant hazard is whether this remaining risk is high medium of low. First ask yourself whether you have done all the things that the law says you have got to do. Then ask yourself whether generally acceptable industry standards are in place. But don't stop there - think for yourself, because the law also says that you must do what is reasonably practicable to keep your workplace safe. In controlling risks apply the principles below, if possible in the following order: 1. Try a less risky option 2. Prevent access to the hazard 3. Organise work to reduce exposure 4. Issue personal protective equipment Improving fire safety need not cost a lot. Failure to take simple precautions can cost you a lot more if a fire occurs. Monitoring and Recording When you have carried out your risk assessment you need to record the findings. The risk assessment must be suitable and sufficient. You need to show that: A proper check was made You asked who might be affected You dealt with all the obvious significant hazards, taking into account the number of people who might be involved The precautions are reasonable and the remaining risk is low.
6 Keep a written record for future reference or use; it can help you if an inspector asks what precautions you have taken, or you become involved in any action for civil liability. Practical Risk Assessment Now it's your turn:

9 A Simple Fire Risk Assessment Stage 1: Identifying the fire hazards 1. Is there a system for controlling the amounts of combustible materials and flammable liquids and gases that are kept in the work place? 2. Is the system operating effectively? 3. Are all combustible materials and flammable liquids and gases stored safely? 4. Are all heaters fitted with suitable guards and fixed in position away from combustible materials? 5. Are all items of portable electrical equipment inspected regularly and fitted with the correctly rated fuses? 6. Is the wiring of the electrical installation inspected periodically by a competent person? 7. Is the use of extension leads and multi-point adapters kept to a minimum? 8. Are flexes run in safe places where they will not be damaged? 9. Is the upholstery of furniture in good condition? 10. Is the workplace free from rubbish and combustible materials? 11. Is there a designated smoking area provided with adequate ashtrays? 12. Have suitable measures been taken to protect against the threat of arson? 13. Have measures been taken to ensure that smoke and flames cannot spread from one compartment within the building to another? Stage 2: Identifying the people who could be at risk 14. Is there sufficient number of exits of suitable width for the people present? 15. Do the exits lead to a place of safety? 16. Are gangways and escape routes free from obstruction? 17. Are the escape routes free from tripping and slipping hazards? 18. Are steps and stairs in a good state of repair? 19. Are final exits always unlocked when the premises are in use? 20. Are the devices securing final exits capable of being opened immediately and easily without the use of a key? 21. Are internal fire doors labeled as such and normally kept closed? 22. Are the self-closers on fire doors operating correctly? 23. Do the doors on escape routes open in the direction of travel? 24. Are escape routes clearly signed? 25. Are escape routes adequately lit? 26. Have plans been made and rehearsed regarding assisting disabled staff and visitors to evacuate the premises?
10 Stage 3: Eliminate, control or avoid the fire hazards 27. Do procedures and practices avoid the use of combustible materials or processes that use heat? 28. Has consideration been given to all cost-effective measures that could be taken to prevent the occurrence of arson? 29. Have staff been trained in how to call the fire brigade, the use of the fire extinguishers and basic fire prevention? 30. Have you asked your insurers for advice regarding the fire protection of the premises? Stage 4: Consider whether the existing fire safety provisions are adequate or need improvement 31. Where escape lighting is installed is it in working order and maintained regularly? 32. Is the fire alarm system in working order? 33. Is the fire alarm tested weekly? 34. Can the fire alarm be raised without placing anyone in danger? 35. Are the fire alarm call points clearly visible and unobstructed? 36. Are an adequate number of suitable fire extinguishers provided? 37. Are fire extinguishers and fire blankets located suitably and ready for use? 38. Are the fire extinguishers serviced annually by a competent company or person? 39. Is any fixed fire fighting installation or automatic fire detection system in working order? Stage 5: Record the findings 40. If you employ five or more people have you recorded the findings of the fire risk assessment? 41. Have you told your staff or their representatives about your findings? 42. If you have prepared a formal report has this been shown to your staff or their representatives? 43. If you share your workplace with others do they know about the risks that you have identified? 44. If you do not have direct control over the workplace have you made your findings known to the owner or landlord?
11 Stage 6: Prepare an emergency plan 45. Are fire action notices displayed prominently throughout the workplace? 46. Has an emergency plan been drawn up in case of a major fire? 47. Is a copy of the emergency plan kept in other than the workplace? Stage 7: Carry out a periodic review of the assessment 48. Has a procedure been established to review the fire risk assessment periodically?
