Fire Risk Assessment Editor

Create comprehensive fire risk assessments with full compliance guidance

🏢 Premises & Responsible Person

? Enter the full legal name of the premises or business location. This identifies the building or site subject to fire risk assessment.
e.g., Company name and site
? Under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person is typically the employer or occupier who controls the premises and must ensure fire safety compliance.
? Provide the complete postal address of the premises being assessed, including postcodes. This is essential for regulatory records and emergency service access.
? Select the primary classification of the premises. Different premises types have varying fire safety requirements and risk profiles under UK fire safety legislation.
? Enter the total number of storeys in the building. Multi-storey premises require additional fire safety controls and evacuation procedures.
? Enter the total floor area in square meters. This helps determine occupancy capacity and fire safety equipment requirements.
? Enter the number of people normally present during standard operating hours. This influences fire safety control measures and evacuation planning.
? Enter the maximum capacity of the premises. This is critical for evacuation route sizing and emergency planning under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005.
? Document the times when the premises is occupied. After-hours periods may have different risk levels and require different safety procedures.
? Identify if persons sleep on the premises (e.g., security staff, live-in managers). Sleeping occupants are considered particularly vulnerable and require enhanced fire safety measures.
The responsible person is usually the employer or, for certain premises, the owner/occupier responsible for compliance with fire safety regulations.

🔥 Fire Hazards - Sources of Ignition

Identify all potential ignition sources on your premises that could start a fire.
? Document any additional ignition sources not listed above that are present on your premises. Consider all fire risks specific to your activities and location.

⛽ Fire Hazards - Sources of Fuel

Identify all combustible materials on premises that could fuel a fire.
? Detail any additional fuel or combustible materials present, including quantities and storage locations. Proper storage of flammable materials is a key fire safety control measure.

👥 People at Risk

? Record details of vulnerable persons on the premises including mobility limitations, sensory impairments, language barriers, or medical conditions affecting evacuation capability. These individuals need enhanced protection measures.

🛡️ Existing Fire Precautions

? Record the number of separate escape routes from the premises. The Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order requires at least two independent escape routes for most buildings with more than 50 occupants.
? Verify that all escape routes are unobstructed, properly maintained, and clearly marked with appropriate signage. Emergency exit routes must always remain clear and accessible.
? Specify the type of fire detection system installed. Automatic detection (smoke/heat detectors) allows early warning and improved response times compared to manual call points alone.
? Confirm if emergency lighting is provided to illuminate escape routes in the event of power failure. This is essential for safe evacuation during smoke or darkness conditions.
? Confirm whether portable fire extinguishers are available on the premises. Extinguishers are important for tackling small fires. Ensure they are suitable for the fire hazards present, regularly inspected, and staff are trained in their use.
? List the types and quantities of fire extinguishers available. Different fire classes require different extinguishing agents. Ensure types are appropriate for the combustible materials present and clearly labeled.
? Confirm whether employees have received fire safety training covering evacuation procedures, assembly points, and proper use of fire equipment. Training is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005.
? Confirm whether fire drills have been carried out to test evacuation procedures and identify any issues. Regular drills (at least annually) ensure staff are prepared and procedures are effective.

✅ Fire Safety Actions

Finding 1
? Provide a clear, concise description of the fire safety issue identified during the assessment and what action is required to address it.
? Classify the identified issue as Low, Medium, or High risk based on its likelihood and potential impact on occupant safety. High risks require urgent remediation.
? Specify the remedial action(s) needed to eliminate or reduce the identified fire risk. Actions should be specific, measurable, and achievable.
? Identify the person or department responsible for implementing the remedial action. Clear assignment ensures accountability and timely completion.
? Set a realistic deadline for completion of the remedial action. High-risk items should have earlier target dates to ensure prompt resolution.

📊 Risk Assessment Summary

? Rate the overall fire risk of the premises based on all identified hazards, people at risk, and existing controls. This informs resource allocation and urgency of remedial actions.
? Provide a comprehensive summary of the fire risk assessment, key findings, existing fire safety measures, identified risks, and recommended actions. This forms the basis for the formal fire safety report.
? Enter the full name of the qualified person conducting the fire risk assessment. The assessor should have appropriate competency and knowledge of fire safety legislation.
? Record the date when the fire risk assessment was conducted. Assessments must be reviewed periodically (typically annually or when premises circumstances change) to remain current and compliant.
? Specify the date by which this fire risk assessment must be reviewed. Under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005, assessments should be reviewed annually or whenever there are significant changes to the premises.
This assessment should be reviewed annually or following any significant changes to the premises.
