A fire risk
assessment helps you identify all the fire hazards and risks in your workplace.
You can then decide whether they are acceptable or whether you need to do
something to reduce or control them.
The assessment
should be carried out by someone who has had sufficient training or has good
experience or knowledge of fire safety.
