Posted By garyh Ron, this seems quite comprehensive as a "what happened" form. What seems to be missing is the part after - the investigation into the (root) cause(s) of the fire, actions / improvements required etc. Possibly you would have a diferent form however it is probably best on one form, keeping it all together. I would also reccomend having this part of the form circulated and signed off by the great and good (Manager, Engineer, Safety Person etc) to give the actions credibility.

Posted By Derek Housley Hi, Post fire, I would suggest that you need to review the significant findings of your fire risk assessment, and then take the appropriate action. Your existing fire risk assessment should take cognisance of the previous history of fires, with a cross reference to both documents. Hope that helps.
