This follows the regulatory reform order 2005<br /> Based on the findings of the assessment, employers need to ensure that adequate and appropriate fire safety measures are in place to minimise the risk of injury or loss of life in the event of a fire.<br /> To help prevent fire in the workplace, your risk assessment should identify what could cause a fire to start, ie sources of ignition (heat or sparks) and substances that burn, and the people who may be at risk.<br /> Once you have identified the risks, you can take appropriate action to control them. Consider whether you can avoid them altogether or, if this is not possible, how you can reduce the risks and manage them. Also consider how you will protect people if there is a fire.<br /> Carry out a fire safety risk assessment<br /> Keep sources of ignition and flammable substances apart<br /> Avoid accidental fires, eg make sure heaters cannot be knocked over<br /> Ensure good housekeeping at all times, eg avoid build-up of rubbish that could burn<br /> Consider how to detect fires and how to warn people quickly if they start, eg installing smoke alarms and fire alarms or bells<br /> Have the correct fire-fighting equipment for putting a fire out quickly<br /> Keep fire exits and escape routes clearly marked and unobstructed at all times<br /> Ensure your workers receive appropriate training on procedures they need to follow, including fire drills<br /> Review and update your risk assessment regularly<br /> For Fire Risk Assessments, Fire Alarm Testing, Fire Extinguishers in Wolverhampton visit here</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-blog-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field--entity-reference-target-type-taxonomy-term clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Blog tags</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/blog-category/httpwwwlgfirecoukfire20risk20assessmentshtml" hreflang="en">http://www.lgfire.co.uk/Fire%20Risk%20Assessments.html</a></div> </div> </div> Mon, 02 Jun 2014 23:00:00 +0000 gazza 497 at https://www.mylocalelectrician.uk
