Fire Risk Assessment.

Zoomup
Good morning all,


 What qualifications does a fire risk assessor have to have to be competent, and to be able to comply legally with his designs for fire alarm systems etc?


My customer is getting in a bloke to carry out a fire risk assessment prior to installing smoke/heat/CO alarms in a rental holiday cottage.


Can just any old unqualified body claim to be a fire risk assessor, like estate agents that need no formal qualifications?


Thanks,


Z.

    I don't understand what you are all faffing about at. All I do is get the customer to request a visit by the local Fire Officer for his input, he'll tell you what you need and where, and it's free! No dodgy risk assessments, do as the F/O says and there's no come-back.




    Really? Times have changed.



    Can we do your Fire Risk Assessment for you?



    Unfortunately not. If you don’t have the expertise – or time – to do the fire risk assessment yourself, appoint a specialist to do it for you.
