Fire Risk Assessment

New fire laws place an increasing emphasis on the legal duty to carry out formal fire risk assessments. The Fire Brigade will soon have the power to revoke fire safety certificates, and in the event of a serious fire incident, prosecution proceedings could be brought against those found to have carried out an insufficient Fire Risk Assessment - particularly is Fire Rescue personnel are injured while attending an incident.

Kawns Fire Risk Assessment service has been designed with the advice of a senior fire professional specifically to help you comply with these new laws, whilst also prioritising areas for future attention.

A Kawns consultant will assess a broad range of risk factors including sources of ignition, means of escape, warning systems, and risk to personnel. Using a numeric rating scale and 'traffic light systems' combined with qualitative review, the Kawns consultant will be able to make clear, even to busy management, the significance of any risks found. During consultation with the client, an initial action plan can also be developed to facilitate change if needed.

Kawns Fire Risk Assessment offers a highly flexible approach as users of the service can add further risk factors to the assessment where they may apply. Some buildings for example might have more difficult means of escape from fire than others, meaning that more specific risk factors must be reviewed in this area.
