The changes that have taken place to the fire regulations place new emphasis on Risk Assessment. Oakleaf have developed a detailed Fire Risk Assessment based on the principles of PAS 79:2005.
The Fire Risk Assessment
The requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 impose requirements on the 'Responsible Person' to make certain that there are adequate fire precautions to ensure the safety of all persons, including employees, who are legally on the premises and to carry out a fire risk assessment.
The Oakleaf Fire Risk Assessment provides clear and practical recommendations rather than vague generalisations. It clearly quantifies risk (harm potential) using a simple risk matrix (also complying with NHS requirements). It separately identifies each sub element in terms of Low, Medium or High Risk with summaries for each Element. In each case it identifies fire prevention or mitigation measures that could be implemented to compensate for the risk in every instance. It also summarises at an 'Element Level' whether the risk is acceptable or requires immediate action.
The report will become the responsibility of the client for updating as improvements take place.
The Report
Data is gathered using electronic hand held tools and paper plans as required to provide data consistency between surveyors.
Prioritised Risk
Risks will be prioritised and ranked by severity to allow programming of remedial work.
Digital Photographs
We take photographs showing selected non-compliant items to better illustrate the problems.
Drawings
All Fire Precautions including Fire Doors, Alarms, Detection, Signs, Fire Fighting Equipment etc. can all be indicated on AutoCAD drawings (if available) with any particular areas of risk referenced back to the written report.
