Who should carry out my Fire Risk Assessments? Can I just do them myself?
It depends on how large/complex your business or organisation is.
Risk Assessments for Larger Business’
If your business is larger or more complex, you should always contact an expert to come and help.
Risk Assessments for Small Business’
If your business or organisation is relatively small and you think your potential risks aren’t complex, it is actually possible to do it yourself with the help of standard fire safety risk assessment guides. But, if you don’t have the time or feel you do not have the expertise to carry out the FRA yourself you should probably call in an expert. FRA’s are something that are so important to get right, so if you have any doubt in your mind about carrying one out yourself, then always call in an expert to help you. It is always better to be safe than worry ‘what if I didn’t do it right?’
