Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) Services
A thorough Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a structured evaluation designed to identify potential fire hazards, assess the level of risk, and recommend steps to reduce or eliminate those risks within your premises.
FRA is a critical component in complying with fire safety legislation and regulatory standards - our comprehensive assessments ensure compliance and actively enhance your overall fire safety strategy - providing clear, actionable insights to mitigate risks effectively.
Why are fire risk assessments important?
Fire risk assessments aren’t just regulatory requirements, they're vital tools for safeguarding lives and assets. Regular assessments enable early identification of fire hazards, to ensure safe and swift evacuation during emergencies, and significantly reduce risk. Staying proactive helps you avoid costly downtime, legal complications, and ensures ongoing peace of mind.
What does our FRA cover?
Our FRA can vary depending on your building’s purpose, however a typical FRA can include:
- Identification of potential fire hazards and ignition sources
- Assessment of individuals at risk, with special attention to vulnerable groups
- Review of fire doors, fire stopping measures, and compartmentation
- Evaluation of emergency evacuation procedures and signage
- Inspection of fire detection and suppression systems
Every assessment includes clear documentation and practical recommendations, aligned closely with the Golden Thread principles, providing you with complete visibility and ongoing compliance.
