Use this document to complete the second and final stage of a fire risk assessment after using our document 'Fire risk review checklist'. On this document, you will record the sources of any significant risks of a fire occurring within your workplace and the risks to people within your workplace in the event of a fire. You will evaluate the severity of such risks and you will identify steps that might be taken to remove or reduce these risks. Finally, you will record what action is proposed to be taken and applicable timescales.
Fire risk review checklist
Use this document to complete the first stage of a fire risk assessment as is required under fire safety legislation. It will assist you to undertake a thorough inspection of the workplace and review of existing procedures. The purpose of this document is to gather information concerning potential fire risks, the risks to people within the workplace and the effectiveness of existing systems and procedures. After completing this first stage of the process, you should use our document "Fire risk assessment - Recording of significant findings".
Health and safety compliance review and policy creator
This product enables you to prepare and document the compliance of your business with all relevant health and safety legislation. It does this by walking you through all the issues that you need to address - registration, insurance, risk analysis, risk minimisation, training, etc. The document then prepares a statement of development to be kept on file and shown to all interested parties and officials to prove that you have followed the appropriate procedures in developing a health and safety policy for your business. It also produces a list of actions with timelimits so that you address all relevant issues. Finally, it produces a tailored health and safety policy at the end of the document. Hence, this product produces three documents - a record of the development of your health and safety policy, a list of actions with timelimits and the health and safety policy itself.
It is recommended that you review this policy every 18 months, or sooner if there are substantial changes to your staffing or premises.

This easy-to-use form is designed for any business wishing to ensure that they meet their legal obligations in this regard and can be tailored to meet the needs of any industry or sector.
