CRI - Fire Risk Assessment V4 January 2014

• It is the policy of CRI to protect all persons including employees, service users, contractors & the general public from potential injury or damage to their health which may arise from a fire. The company will provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions, equipment and system of work for all employees, and to provide such information, training and supervision as they need for this purpose. The company will give a high level of commitment to fire safety and will comply with all statutory requirements. Commentary: The Fire Safety Risk Assessment is contained within the Fire and Premises Safety folder and is kept in the project office. The plan confirms that a fire risk assessment will be completed to ensure adequate fire safety and will be reviewed as necessary. The fire risk assessment will follow the five step approach detailed in the HM Government fire safety risk assessment guide. The significant findings will be recorded. Any deficiencies identified by the fire risk assessment process will be prioritised and rectified accordingly. Although having overall responsibility for fire safety matters CRI has made the Locality Manager responsible for fire safety matters which include the fire risk assessment and all matters appertaining to it. The Locality Manager will be responsible for: Deciding the fire safety protective and preventative measures. Ensuring they are implemented and communicated to other employees, volunteers and service users. Ensuring co-ordination between other responsible persons. Fire Safety will be an agenda item for the Managers Meeting. The Health and Safety Manager will be responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the fire risk assessment process and its implementation through the 6-moth Premises Safety Review submissions in February & August.
