Posted By Descarte Its a risk assessment, what hazards did you find on your checklist. Obvioulsy these need to be noted in your assessment, suitably assessed and an action plan to be in place to reduce risk further if required. Most FRA's will also catagorise these identified risks in to 3 catagories requiring either immediate, prompt or later remediation or by severity. Wanted to give a helpful answer and not bang on competancy which I can gaurentee some people will

Posted By Davelfc Brenda, If you e-mail me direct, I have just produced what I deem a fantastic Risk Assessment and a fairly comprehensive evacuation Plan for New offices that we have just constructed and moved to this week. I am quite proud of what I've produced and even invited our local fire enforcement officer in to show it off, who also thought it was fantastic, though I say it myself. My philosophy to share as much of my experience with as many people as I can while still on our wonderful but ailing planet. especially if it saves a life, or just makes people happy and safe. If nothing else it will give you a good start, and you may improve on it. The main thing you need to do is assess your hazards, flammables and combustibles in association with anything that may generate a heat source or ignition. Look at who has potential to be in danger and ensure you have suitable precautions in place for means of escape and emergency warning. but remember it is prevention rather than cure so reduce your hazards down to acceptable levels. You may have to review your staff training. I have trained Marshall's, in the general rules of fire safety given them additional training specific to the evacuation plan, conducted a drill briefed and trained all members of staff, reviewed after the evacuation drill. Given additional responsibilities to staff, alarm tests, maintenance checks, and recording. Put an action plan in place for the minor improvements. it has been a bit of a learning curve as well, it took a lot of time, to put all the items in place, and i had do research. I read the Dept of Communities & Local Government Guide to assist me in line with the Fire Safety Order. which helped so if you have not read that go on the web and down load or you can buy a copy. very useful. Hope that helps Kind regards Dave
