Fire Risk Assessment Residential Flats

What is ‘a risk’?

First of all, a risk is the likelihood of a hazard to cause harm. When it comes to fire safety, there are two aspects that we assess: potential hazards and risks. The former is anything that is likely to cause an issue. The second is the chance that it will happen. Once we have identified hazards and evaluated the risks, we make recommendations and offer advice to help eradicate or minimise both. The hazards that we come across vary with each fire risk assessment. Residential flats might have some or all of the following:

• Blocked exits
• Improperly maintained warning equipment
• Inadequate firefighting equipment
• Poor signage
• Bad lighting
• Hazardous or flammable materials

Modern flats will have stringent fire safety measures built into the design. The risk and level of work required will be higher for bigger, older buildings. You may also need to consider any special matters/conditions that apply to your residents based on their age and/or physical capabilities. We help you take all this into account when we carry out your fire risk assessment.
