Fire risk assessments for premises in use.

Understand the risks and the actions.

An assessment should help the people managing a building understand its fire risks and the matters that need attention. Infra Fire Safety Ltd provides fire risk assessments with a clear, prioritised schedule of actions.

The commission starts with the premises: how they are used, who occupies them, what records exist and which areas are to be assessed. The scope and any access requirements are agreed before the work proceeds.

Agreeing the assessment

• The premises: tell us the building type, approximate size, occupancy and the areas for which you need an assessment.
• The available information: existing assessments, fire strategies, plans and relevant inspection or maintenance records help establish the starting point.
• Access and limitations: describe any restricted areas or constraints so these can be considered when the scope is agreed.
• The output: a written assessment and prioritised actions within the agreed scope, with the basis and limitations made clear.

Where a different service is needed

A fire risk assessment and a fire strategy serve different purposes. An assessment considers fire risks in premises in use; a strategy sets out the building’s fire safety approach. If you need a strategy for a new or existing building, see our fire engineering service.

An external wall assessment or another specialist investigation may require a separate scope. If a previous report recommends further work, include that recommendation in your enquiry. Our fire safety consultancy service can help you discuss the technical question.

Local access, national coverage

We are based in Preston and welcome enquiries across Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire and Cumbria. Projects elsewhere in the UK can also be discussed. The building’s location, use and complexity inform the proposed commission.
