If you have already got several formats, won't more cause even more confusion?

The fire risk assessment must be carried out by someone who is 'competent' in fire. I'm not questioning your competency but a competent person should be able to put together their own fire risk assessment, particularly if they have a fair choice of examples. I find that some who put themselves up as competent will conduct a fire risk assessment and suggest that, for example, there is a fire alarm system in place as a control measure yet on closer inspection the fire alarm system does not comply with the British Standard and will not adequately detect a fire.

Hi Paul,
a blank sheet of paper usually works for me.

Dont forget that all other assiociated risks should be included in the assessment
COSHH - flammable and reactive chemicals
Hot work processes PTW's
Maintenance of your equipment - PUWER
Battery charging devices -over charging cut outs - PUWER
Dust and expolisions - DSEAR
Controlling Contractors - CHSW & CDM
Housekeeping & traffic routes - HSW regs
and so on
I have yet to see a form that truly enables a generic approach (checklist) to Fire risk assessment - Thus I use a Blank sheet of paper!!

If you would like more help IOSH engages me to run CPD Fire risk Assessment courses - next one 17-18th Nov do give Zoe a ring
Best of luck
Andy Furness
