question:What is the typical cost of a fire risk assessment and how long does it typically take to perform.
answer:The cost of a fire risk assessment can vary depending on the size and complexity of your building, as well as the level of detail required. As an independent consultant, my fees are competitive, and I'd be happy to provide a quote for your specific building. Typically, the cost of a fire risk assessment can range from a few hundred to several thousand pounds. For example, a small office building with a simple layout and minimal risks might cost around £300-£500, while a larger, more complex building with multiple floors and high-risk areas might cost £1,500-£3,000 or more. As for the time it takes to perform a fire risk assessment, this also depends on the size and complexity of the building. On average, a small to medium-sized office building might take around 2-4 hours to assess, while a larger building could take a full day or even multiple days. During the assessment, I'd need to inspect the building, review your procedures and documentation, and interview key personnel. I'd also need to assess the building's fire safety systems, such as the fire alarm, emergency lighting, and fire extinguishers. After the assessment, I'd provide you with a comprehensive report detailing any areas of concern, recommendations for improvement, and a prioritized action plan to help you address any deficiencies. This report would typically be provided within a few days of the assessment. Would you like me to provide a more detailed quote for your building, or would you like to discuss any specific concerns you have about the assessment process?
question:Would you typically check all the fire extinguishers during a fire risk assessment or would you review the documentation in relation to fire extinguisher inspection and maintenance only?
answer:During a fire risk assessment, I wouldn't typically check every single fire extinguisher in the building. Instead, I'd usually review the documentation related to fire extinguisher inspection and maintenance to ensure that they're being properly serviced and inspected in accordance with the relevant standards, such as BS 5306-3. I'd look for records of regular inspections, maintenance, and testing, as well as certificates of conformity and labels indicating the date of the last inspection. This documentation should be kept up to date and readily available for review. However, as part of the assessment, I might conduct a visual check of a sample of fire extinguishers to ensure that they're properly located, easily accessible, and not obstructed. I'd also check that the correct types of extinguishers are installed for the specific hazards present in the building. It's the responsibility of the building's management to ensure that fire extinguishers are regularly inspected and maintained by a competent person, usually a fire safety engineer or a certified fire extinguisher technician. As a fire safety consultant, my role is to review the documentation and procedures to ensure that the building is complying with the relevant regulations and standards. If I were to identify any concerns or deficiencies related to fire extinguisher maintenance or inspection during the assessment, I'd certainly highlight these in my report and provide recommendations for improvement.
