Fire Risk Assessment

​Fire risk assessment is an essential element of fire safety management in the workplace. This aims to identify potential fire hazards and the people who may be affected, evaluate the risks associated with the perceived hazard, and implement measures to eliminate or, at the very least, reduce those risks.

According to the US National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), fire departments responded to emergencies every 23 seconds in 2021. Fatal injuries happen every two hours, nonfatal injuries occur every 36 minutes, and property damage cost over $15 billion. The statistics are also alarming in Australia where many workers cannot operate a fire extinguisher. In the UK, there is a 16% increase in fire incidents in 2022 compared to the previous year.

All these facts point to one thing: fire safety assessment is vital.
