Fire Risk Assessment

Fire Risk Assessment | Fire Risk Assessment Dublin Ireland

Over ninety percent of all workplace fires are caused by human error, and 80 percent of those businesses that experience a large fire never reopen. Fire can and does harm individuals, businesses, and even communities.

The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act of 2005 mandates that employers carry out risk assessments, including assessments of fire risks. According to the Health and Safety Authority in Ireland (HSA), a risk assessment is defined as a document that documents a three-stage process:

  • Identifying the hazards in the workplace(s) under your control
  • Analyzing the hazards
  • Recommending the best course of action

Then you have to assess the risks presented by these hazards and put control measures in place to decrease the risk of these hazards causing harm”.

Any worthwhile fire risk assessment of your premises must include fire prevention, fire detection and warning, emergency escape and fire-fighting.
