Why use HSE Group – what makes us different?
We’re proud to say we have an excellent team of fire safety professionals who have dedicated their careers to specialising in fire safety. Our approach moves away from the conveyor belt, box-ticking mentality in compliance, to develop realistic and workable documents for you to manage the building.
At the end of the day, this is serious. You don’t want to be cost-cutting to tick a box, life safety is paramount.
In its truest sense, this is an assessment, an approach designed to interrogate your building to ensure the controls in place are robust so that should an incident occur, it will not endanger persons present.
To achieve this, we work to build a relationship with you, collaborating to understand, adapt, respond, and overcome your obstacles. The risk assessment is not a one-off product, but a live working document that needs to be usable, manageable and readily available. We’ve aligned our approach with our ATAI software solution, to ensure you have full live management visibility. This provides live progress updates, bespoke notifications, live dynamic risk rating and assurance, and much more.
So, what is a fire risk assessment?
The Responsible Person for a building (employer or owner/occupant of the building) has a strict legal obligation to undertake an assessment specifically concerning fire risk, ensuring the life safety of those in and around the building. The risk assessment approach must;
- Identify potential fire hazards;
- Identify persons at risk;
- Evaluate to eliminate or manage the risks;
- Recording findings and plan;
- Regularly reviewing and updating.
Can anyone do the fire risk assessment?
The person undertaking the fire risk assessment must be competent (possessing the skills, knowledge, and experience).
It is appreciated that not everyone will possess the competence needed, and the more complex the buildings become, the more specialist the competence required, which can become extremely challenging.
Most of the time, the Responsible Person delegates the fire risk assessment task to a competent person. This person could be internal to the business or externally contracted out. If you are contracting out, part of your approach will be vetting their credentials. Ensure they are suitably qualified, insured, and ideally registered with a recognised accreditation to validate their competence;
