I am reviewing my fire risk assessment using the model form rather than my previous prose style. However, Im struggling with some of the terminology. Since im about to be audited on it, i thought I'd better check. 'Fire Loss Experience' - is this basically, 'any previous fires'? Im sure ill be back with more questions, and before anyone asks, i have passed my NEBOSH fire safety course :) Thanks

That's what i have always taken it to mean. I've also added another section around enforcement action or visits by local fire authority as this has come up on a few occasions part way through the process when the client then says "that's funny the fire officer made the same comments as you". One I'm not to clear on as to what they are referring to is section 27 testing and maintenance "27.1 Adequate Maintenance of premises" Is this referring to the general condition of the building in terms of painting and repairs to the building as then 27.2- 27.11then refers to specific fire safety measures. I've always seen the first statement of each section (as in 27.1) as an overall view of how that premises has meet the requirements or statements of the rest of the questions (as in 27.2-27.11 for example) i just think maybe it could have been worded better to make it clear are we talking about maintenance of the fire safety equipment or just referring to the upkeep of the building. Any views on this Phil

Yes back again

Welcome back Bleve. It's good to see you are offering guidance as always. Nice one.

I think the same as everyone else so far - any previous history of fires. Second point, I always say if it looks good it usually is good (not always right but mostly). When you first enter a premises you can get a good idea of how well it is maintained.
