PURPOSE

• The purpose of this report is to provide an assessment of the risk to life from fire in these premises, and, where appropriate, to make recommendations to ensure compliance with fire safety legislation. The report does not address the risk to property or business continuity from fire.
  
  I certify that to the best of my knowledge, the information contained in this fire risk assessment is correct, based on information provided at the time the assessment was undertaken.

METHODOLOGY

• The methodology of this fire risk assessment is to undertake an inspection of the premises and discuss the activities within the property considering the potential for a fire to occur and the harm it could cause to occupants and those around the building who may be affected. In addition, the occupancy allowances within the premises will be considered.

OBJECTIVE OF THE REPORT

• To provide fire safety advice that satisfies the provisions of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Significant findings have been recorded within the assessment to provide information on the fire risks within the premises. This report represents the best judgement of the consultant following an inspection of the premises and information provided by others. No liability is accepted for the accuracy of such information.

AUTHORITY

• Authority to undertake this report was provided by:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• This report is produced in response to a request from the Responsible Person, as defined in Article 3 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO), for us to complete the Fire Risk Assessment on their behalf. The FRA was conducted in accordance with Article 9 of the RRO. This report is produced in response to a request from the Responsible Person, as defined in Article 3 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO), for us to complete the Fire Risk Assessment on their behalf. The FRA was conducted in accordance with Article 9 of the RRO.
  The information collected for this report was gathered through observation and documentation; we cannot be held liable for the accuracy of the information provided other than by our own observation. The report considers:
  1. General information
  2. Management of fire safety
  3. Sources of ignition
  4. Housekeeping
  5. Contractor hazards
  6. Means of escape
  7. Measures to limit fire spread
  8. Fire safety systems infrastructure
  9. Access arrangements for the emergency services.
  This is a Type 1 Fire Risk Assessment therefore inspection is of the communal areas only although consideration is given to the flat doors. Housekeeping was observed to be of a good standard.
  Actions required are detailed within this report. The Responsible Person is to ensure that all non- compliances are resolved in line with the requirements set out above. It is important to understand the content of the Fire Risk Assessment and necessary recommendations made, if there are actions that are required to protect relevant persons from fire (relevant persons are any persons lawfully in the building). If the content in the recommendations section is unclear clarification should be sought.

CONFIDENTIALITY

• This document has been prepared for the titled project or named part thereof and should not be relied upon or used for any other project. Rubix Safety Ltd accepts no responsibility or liability for the consequence of this document being used for a purpose other than the purposes for which it was commissioned. All reasonable precautionary measures in handling this document and the information contained herein should be taken to prevent any third party from obtaining unauthorised access.

• Responsible person or person having control of the premises:

• Person(s) consulted:

• Date of previous fire risk assessment:

  Date

• Suggested date for review of fire risk assessment:

  Date

• This fire risk assessment should be reviewed by a competent person by the date indicated above or at such earlier time as there is reason to suspect that it is no longer valid, or there has been significant change in the matters to which it relates, or if a fire occurs.

THE FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT

• The following simple fire risk level estimator is based on a commonly used health and safety risk level estimator.

  

• Taking into account the fire prevention measures observed at the time of this risk assessment, it is considered that the hazard from fire (likelihood of fire) at these premises is:

  Extreme Harm

  Moderate Harm

  Slight Harm

• In this context, a definition of the above terms is as follows:
  • Low - Unusually low likelihood of fire as a result of negligible potential sources of ignition.
  • Medium - Normal fire hazards (e.g. potential ignition sources) for this type of occupancy, with fire hazards generally subject to appropriate controls (other than minor shortcomings).
  • High Lack of adequate controls applied to one or more significant fire hazards, such as to result in significant increase in likelihood of fire.
  

• Taking into account the nature of the premises and the occupants, as well as the fire protection and procedural arrangements observed at the time of this fire risk assessment, it is considered that the consequences for life safety in the event of fire would be

  Extreme Harm

  Moderate Harm

  Slight Harm

• In this context, a definition of the above terms is as follows:
  • Slight harm Outbreak of fire unlikely to result in serious injury or death of any occupant (other than an occupant sleeping in a room in which a fire occurs).
  • Moderate harm Outbreak of fire could foreseeably result in injury (including serious injury) of one or more occupants, but it is unlikely to involve multiple fatalities.
  • Extreme harm Significant potential for serious injury or death of one or more occupants.
  

• Accordingly, it is considered that the risk to life as these premises is:

  Trivial Risk

  Tolerable Risk

  Moderate Risk

  Substantial Risk

  Intolerable Risk

• A suitable risk-based control plan should involve effort and urgency that is proportional to risk. The following risk-based control plan is based on one that has been advocated for general health and safety risks:

  

• Note: although the purpose of this section is to place the fire risk in context, the above approach to risk assessment is subjective and for guidance only. All hazards and deficiencies identified in this report should be addressed by implementing all recommendations contained in the action plan. The fire risk assessment should be repeated regularly.

RISK PROFILE

• A risk profile should be established for the property in order to determine the appropriate means of escape and the appropriate construction standards for life safety within the property. The risk profile can be used to ascertain the requirements for property protection and business continuity. The risk profile should reflect the occupant characteristics and estimated fire growth rate for the premises, and should be expressed as a value combining these two elements.

OCCUPANT CHARACTERISTICS

• The occupant characteristic within the premises is principally determined according to whether the occupants are familiar or unfamiliar with the property and consideration must be given to whether they are awake or asleep. The property is a multi-function property (office and residential) and has a variety of occupant characteristics made up of persons that work and live in the property and are familiar with its layout, persons visiting the property and are not familiar with its layout. The range of Occupant characteristics likely to be found in most properties can be summarised in Table 1.

  

• The occupant characteristics likely to be found within the premises are detailed in Table 2 below.

  

FIRE GROWTH RATE

• The fire growth rate is the rate at which it is estimated that a fire will grow and should be categorised in accordance with Table 3.

  

TYPICAL RISK PROFILES

• The risk profile for a property is given as a combination of occupant risk category and fire growth rate as shown in Table 4.

  

PREMISES RISK PROFILES

• As mentioned above the risk profile rating should be determined by combining the occupant characteristic with the fire growth rate. The risk profile for a property is shown in Table 5.
