Fire Risk Assessment Training
Assessing the building and the process together rather than as separate problems
Covers structured fire risk assessment for industrial premises, combining ignition source and fuel load assessment with means of escape, detection, suppression and the management arrangements that determine whether any of it works on the day.
This course sits alongside our Fire Risk Assessment consulting work, so what is taught is what we do.
Who should attend
Course content
Every module is taught with worked examples and exercises drawn from real plant, and adapted to your own process where the course runs in house.
Assessment method
- Identifying ignition sources, fuel and oxygen sources systematically
- People at risk including those needing assistance and lone workers
- Fire growth, spread and the compartment that fails
- Recording an assessment that a fire authority will accept
Building fire safety
- Means of escape, travel distances and final exits
- Compartmentation, fire doors and penetration sealing
- Emergency lighting and signage
- Structural fire resistance and the periods required
Detection and suppression
- Detection technology selection for the occupancy
- Alarm systems, zoning and evacuation signalling
- Portable and fixed suppression selection
- Testing and maintenance regimes
Management arrangements
- Evacuation planning, marshals and assembly
- Drills, their frequency and what they should test
- Hot work interface and temporary arrangements during construction
- Reviewing the assessment when the premises or process change
What you receive
- A fire risk assessment template and worked example
- An escape route and compartmentation review checklist
- A testing and maintenance schedule template
- Assessment result and attendance record
What changes afterwards
- Assessments cover process fire risk as well as building fire risk
- Escape provision is assessed against the people actually present
- Testing regimes are defined and evidenced
- Assessments get reviewed when something changes
