What is an FRA?

A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is the systematic identification of all fire related hazards within a premises, and is designed to analyse how these hazards may adversely affect the building and its occupants.

I can provide FRA Types 1–4:

Basic requirement to satisfy FSO

Non-destructive
Picture
TYPE 1: An assessment of the common parts of a building (non destructive). The common parts are assessed together with a sample of front doors and concealed areas, where they can be easily assessed without damaging the construction of the building.
Destructive
Picture
TYPE 2: An assessment of the common parts only with a Type 1 survey, but there is a degree of destructive investigation carried out. This will need a competent contractor both to open up the building and make good the damage following the investigation.

Beyond FSO requirements

Non-destructive
Picture
TYPE 3: Goes beyond the scope of the Fire Safety Order (not the Housing Act) and looks at the means of escape and fire detection within a sample of the dwellings and the spread of fire between flats.
Destructive
Picture
TYPE 4: Similar to Type 3 but a degree of destructive investigation is required as with a Type 2 assessment.
