Fire Risk Assessment | BBFS Fire Safety

I can provide FRA Types 1–4:

Basic requirement to satisfy FSO

Non-destructive

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

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

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

TYPE 4: Similar to Type 3 but a degree of destructive investigation is required as with a Type 2 assessment.

"Which Type do I need?"

Unsure which FRA Type you need? Feel free to contact me, and I'll be happy to discuss the best option for you.

The BBFS Standard:

Identify the level of risk that the hazards present.

Identify suitable control measures for any significant findings.

Includes an Action Plan with reasonable timescales assigned for the implementation of any necessary remedial action.

I will provide you with a comprehensive FRA that will identify significant risks and the steps required to reduce them to an acceptable level.

I will also provide limited fire safety advice between your FRAs.
