Fire Risk Assessments are a means to an end, but not an end in themselves!

Article 9 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 imposes a requirement on organisations to carry out a 'Suitable & Sufficient' Fire Risk Assessment.  Best practice suggests that this should be undertaken annually, however Fire Risk Assessments are a means to an end, but not an end in themselves.  By addressing the BB7 factors of Strategic Fire Risk Management organisations can demonstrate compliance with the RRFSO more comprehensively. 

We are the pioneers of Strategic Fire Risk Management, and principle authors of the forthcoming PAS 7 publication from British Standards Institution.

We can help organisations craft a Fire Policy which sets out the 'What & Why', and then document your organisations Fire Risk Management Strategy establishing 'How, When & Who'.  Strategic Fire Risk Management is an integrated or holistic approach to understand and manage the risks posed by the threat of fire which enables an entity to optimize its underlying processes to achieve more efficient results.  Ultimately this means cost effective compliance and improved risk mitigation.

Sure we can do risk assessment but we can also advice on risk treatment, risk acceptance, and risk communication. 

For a 'Free' Fire Risk Management Audit that determines your 'Management Level' in accordance with PAS 7 please do drop us a line.
