Fire Risk Assessment Services
A fire risk assessment is a systematic evaluation of potential fire hazards in a building or workplace. It involves identifying fire risks, assessing the likelihood of fire occurring, and determining the potential consequences in terms of harm to people, property, and the environment. The goal is to implement preventive measures to mitigate those risks and ensure safety.
At Fire Door Surveys Ltd, we provide professional fire risk assessment solutions for properties throughout UK. Whether you're managing a block of flats, a workplace, or public building, our assessors offer clear, actionable insights tailored to your premises.
Steps in a Fire Risk Assessment
A comprehensive fire safety risk assessment is essential to identify vulnerabilities and reduce the chance of a fire starting or spreading. The following process outlines the steps we follow to ensure buildings in remain compliant and protected.
We offer 2 types of Fire Risk Assessments:
Our experienced team delivers both standard and enhanced fire risk assessments across the UK. The choice of assessment depends on the type of building, level of access, and specific safety needs.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE
Type 1 – Common Parts Only
A Type 1 fire risk assessment is the basic fire risk assessment required for the purpose of satisfying the Fire Safety Order (FSO).
This inspection of the building is non-destructive. It requires considering the arrangements made for a means of escape as well as an examination of at least a few of the entrance doors to flats. It requires taking into consideration any construction made to separate the flats from the common parts, as far as practicable reasonably, without any need for the opening of any construction. In this mode of fire assessment, there is no need to enter the flats beyond the entrance.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE
Type 3 – Common Parts and Flats
A Type 3 assessment requires the same work as in a Type 1 assessment but exceeds the scope of the FSO, though it must not in any way contravene the Housing Act. In this assessment of fire risk, the arrangements for fire detection (smoke alarms) and the means of escape must be inspected in a sample of flats
Inside the flats the assessment is non-destructive, but it is essential that the fire resistance of doors leading to rooms be considered. Fire prevention measures are not considered if they are within the control of the landlord or responsible person, though heating and electrical installations maintenance may be looked at.
