Posted By shaun mckeever 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.

Posted By Andy Furness 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
