Frequently asked questions

What are the five key steps in a simple fire risk assessment?

A proper fire risk assessment follows five essential steps: identify fire hazards (ignition sources, fuel, oxygen), determine people at risk, evaluate and remove/reduce risks, record findings and create an emergency plan, and also review the assessment regularly. This structured approach ensures you cover all critical aspects of fire safety.

What specific fire hazards should I look for when using this template?

Focus on three categories of fire hazards: ignition sources (electrical equipment, heating devices, cooking equipment), fuel sources (paper, textiles, flammable liquids), and oxygen sources (air conditioning, ventilation systems). The template guides you through identifying these hazards in your specific environment.

How do I determine who is at particular risk in my fire risk assessment?

Identify people who might be especially vulnerable during a fire emergency, including those with mobility issues, hearing or visual impairments, temporary visitors unfamiliar with the premises, lone workers, and people in isolated locations. The template provides specific sections to document these individuals.

How can simple fire risk assessments contribute to safety and compliance?

Simple fire risk assessments contribute to safety by providing a structured approach to identifying and addressing basic fire hazards. They ensure compliance with legal obligations by documenting fire safety measures and recommending improvements. Also, by maintaining essential safety standards, these assessments help protect occupants and property, reducing the risk of fire-related incidents.
