Fire Risk Assessment
An overview of our Fire Risk Assessment Checklist Template.
Checklist Overview
In the UK, you are considered a "Responsible Person" with regards to fire safety if you have control of non-domestic premises, for example, as a landlord or business owner. A part of that responsibility is to carry out and regularly review a Fire Risk Assessment.
Note: You must keep a written record of your Fire Risk Assessment if your business employs more than 5 people.
The Risk Memo Fire Risk Assessment Checklist Template aims to help you to:
- Identify the fire hazards
- Identify people at risk
- Evaluate, remove or reduce the risks
- Record your findings
- Perform regular reviews and updates
