It is becoming embarrassingly common to visit premises where an extinguisher or fire alarm company has carried out the fire risk assessment for the client. This reveals that companies have been recommending expensive fire alarm systems or a lot of extinguishers they did not need.
There is a clear duty on the
‘Responsible Person’ to confirm the competency of any fire risk assessor whom
they appoint to conduct a fire risk assessment of their building. It is
therefore always recommended by the Fire and Rescue Services that the
‘Responsible Person’ choose fire risk assessors with the proper level of
competence and who are third party accredited. CSAR Fire Ltd are proud to have
been certified for the BAFE SP205 Life Safety Fire Risk Assessment Scheme which
has been designed for companies that carry out quality life safety fire risk
assessments for all types of UK companies.
It is unclear at present how long
the situation will continue where ‘fire risk assessors’ who are not part of any third-party
accredited scheme (and, therefore, unable to adequately demonstrate competence
to a client) be allowed to continue. This will probably occur when all insurance
companies specify this to insure premises in the future.
Using an existing third-party accredited
scheme shows that CSAR Fire Ltd have fire risk assessors that are competent,
and this must be a practical way forward for clients.
Under the BAFE SP205 scheme CSAR
Fire Ltd receives external examination of the company by independent
inspectors, who have no direct conflicts of interest. By seeking approval,
certification and validation from a third party must add an even greater level
of acceptability and confidence for the client knowing that the fire risk
assessment, which is required to be undertaken, will be conducted by competent
fire risk assessors.
As the responsible person you must carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment of the premises. We will identify what you need to do to prevent fire within your premises and keep people safe. Some of the things that needs to be considered:
Your fire safety risk assessment is not a one-off procedure and should be reviewed regularly. If the findings of the assessment are considered to be no longer valid or there has been a significant change to the premises, or the organisation of the work undertaken has affected the fire risk or the fire safety measures, the assessment should be reviewed. Situations which might prompt a review include:
