Fire risk assessor (4 days)

A more advanced course for people engaged in work as fire safety practitioners and managers who perform similar duties.

Course overview

This four day module is designed to assist 'Responsible Persons' and others in meeting their legal requirements for conducting fire risk assessments.

The course provides an in-depth examination of fire safety legislation and guidance relating to Fire Risk Assessment (FRA). It focuses on the duties of the 'Responsible Person' and explores methodologies used in FRA.

Course material and handouts are used in conjunction with relevant legislation and its associated guidance. Delegates are confirmed as 'competent in acquisition' by means of an end of course assessment.

Succesful completion will also enable delegates to access the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) FRA register once the additional workplace assignments have been carried out to the satisfaction of the IFE.

• Identify and report on generic hazards and areas of non-compliance
• Produce an effective FRA in line with best practice
