What Is a Fire Risk Assessment?

A fire risk assessment is a review undertaken of a building to detect its fire risks and define recommendations to improve the safety of a building. Trained safety officers use fire risk assessment checklists to identify potential fire hazards and risks on site. All companies are required to carry out regular fire risk assessments. Proper maintenance and inspections of your fire extinguishers should also be carried out to ensure proper fire safety.
