Comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment Reports

The assessment will get straight to the point with what is actually being assessed, rather than pages of preamble about the legislation, its history and what it means. We reflect what is actually applicable to you the customer within the report in the relevant areas.

The template a comprehensive document consisting of clear and concise information about the level of compliance with clear actions linked to that report section, so you as the reader can clearly associate that action with the notes provided by the assessor without having to flick between other areas of the report.

Each question section of the report will always be provided with photographic evidence of exactly what the Eyton Solutions assessor is commenting on so the advice or demonstration of compliance is clear, with crucial benchmarking of all findings in accordance with recognised British and UK government standards. A summary of the findings and overall risk rating will be given as per PAS79 standards.

Risk Reduction Plans

Actions are also presented as a separate Excel spreadsheet to allow the reader to get straight to the point with the actions without consistently having to scroll through the report. The actions will detail the clause where they are raised within the original report with a clear definition of priority for the actions to be carried out by the Responsible Person.

Efficient Long-Term Fire Risk Solutions and Cost-Effective Reviews

We offer strategic fire safety risk assessment and training services that provide long-term benefits, cost savings, and a commitment to improving health, safety, and emergency preparedness in non-domestic premises.

At Eyton Solutions, we specialise in fire risk assessment services focusing on non-domestic and business premises.Our FRA program not only ensures compliance with fire safety regulations but also provides a cost-effective approach that avoids rehashing the same issues or unveiling new problems year after year.

We believe that conducting the same comprehensive fire safety risk assessment annually is a misuse of both the Responsible Person’s time and ours, often leading to repetitive actions and increased costs in the long run.

This approach, we argue, results in a false economy and false assurance.

To address this, we offer an innovative solution: a simplified fire risk assessment review following the initial full FRA, at a significantly lower fire risk assessment cost.

This review focuses on verifying the relevance and validity of the ‘current live’ FRA findings by Eyton Solutions.

Recognising that addressing potential risks and hazards in non-domestic premises can take time, possibly years, especially with the rising cost of living, our method is designed to encourage gradual progress.

Our risk assessment solutions prioritise progress tracking on fire safety measures and potential hazards identified in initial assessments without penalising the Responsible Person for recurring actions.

This positive reinforcement approach enhances the overall fire safety of an organisation without negatively impacting their operations. Furthermore, our reviews assist in prioritising actions, ensuring that the Responsible Person does not feel neglected post-assessment.

Additionally, Eyton Solutions emphasises the importance of fire safety training for employees, incorporating it into our services. Training is crucial for understanding potential risks, emergency procedures, and maintaining health and safety within the premises. Our tailored training programs align with the ‘five steps’ risk assessment process, ensuring comprehensive hazard identification and management.

Detailed Assessment Reports

Our assessments are life safety assessments, and so will focus on the protection of life over property. However, often both can go hand in hand. We set out to look at the following sections of all buildings within our assessments which are;

  • Hazards of Fire and Mitigation Measures: Detailing the hazards associated with fire and the measures taken to mitigate these risks.
  • People at Risk: Specifically focusing on the residents or occupants of the building, assessing how they are at risk from fire, and identifying measures to overcome these challenges.
  • Systems and Equipment: Examining the active systems installed within the building, comparing them with relevant standards and identified risks to determine compliance.
  • Means of Escape: Reviewing the facilities and premises design provided for escape in the event of a fire, and making recommendations to address any concerns.
  • Passive Fire Control: Observing the physical compartmentation and fire stopping in buildings to ensure that the building’s behavior during a fire is as expected or designed. Learn more about our fire door inspection services.
  • External Risks: Considering the external façade of the premises and determining if a specialist examination is required.
  • Policy Procedures and Maintenance Control Measures: Ensuring that appropriate building user controls are in place to mitigate fire risks and development, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of policy implementation and levels of organisational competency.

We will also look at the effectiveness of policy implementation and levels of organisational competency.

FAQs

A fire risk assessment is an evaluation of the fire hazards in your premises and the steps you need to take to safeguard against them.

It is a legal requirement for all businesses in the UK, and it should be conducted by a qualified assessor. By law (Article 9 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005), a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment must be carried out in every building in England and Wales unless it is a domestic dwelling. Learn more about the legal requirements of fire risk assessments.

However, as stated in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, a fire risk assessment must consider the following five key components: Identify the fire hazards Identify people at risk Evaluate, remove or reduce the risks Record your findings Review and update the assessment regularly
The frequency of fire risk assessments will depend on the specific risks in your premises and the advice of your assessor. If there are significant changes to your premises or your business operation, you should consider conducting a new assessment. This could include changes to the layout of the building, the introduction of new equipment or materials, or an increase in the number of people working in the premises. ​You should also review your assessment regularly to ensure that it remains up-to-date and relevant. For insights on conducting these assessments, see our guide on fire risk assessment competence.
