Yeovil Annual Fire Risk Assessment

This Fire Risk Assessment has been compiled in line with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. It is designed to highlight all the negative fire safety aspects from the inspection of the premises. The extent of the survey undertaken is dependant on levels of access to various parts of the building as it is not always practical to assess areas such as ceiling voids and wall cavities. The risk assessment begins with a review of the sources of ignition, potential fuel and oxygen supplies. These elements form the fire triangle and all three are required for a fire to develop. Understanding the location of sources will enable the Fencing Centre to predict and control the likelihood of a fire developing. The risk assessment goes on to review fire risks & preventative measures, fire detection & warning systems, firefighting equipment & facilities, escape routes, emergency escape lighting, signs & notices and recording, planning, informing, instructing & training. The fire risk assessment highlighted a number of issues which require action. At the time of the assessment the fire control on site was found to be in need of some attention to structure and management to reduce the risks to an acceptable level. Provided alongside the Fire Risk Assessment is an “Action Plan” which provides a detailed list of requirements that will need to be addressed in order to become fully compliant. These action points are marked according to the specific section of the Fire Risk Assessment checklist to which they refer to. This will help cross–reference the two parts of the documents. Each item is further marked as High, Medium and Low priority. It is the responsibility of the senior management to ensure that the actions are closed out in accordance to the recommended timescales. It is important that the Responsible Person reads this Fire Risk Assessment carefully and makes themselves aware of all the significant findings herein. It should also be noted that this assessment was conducted by observations and sampling and further risks may still exist. It is the responsibility of Fence Stores Ltd to continually evaluate and decide if any recommended control measures.
