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.

    'Twas on the Monday morning, the fire risk assessor came to call. He drew up his report and pinned it to the wall.


    'Twas on the Tuesday morning, the fire alarm designer came round. "You need a bell," he said, "it makes a nicer sound."


    'Twas on the Wednesday morning, the electrician came. To keep the wires tidy, he made a little frame.


    'Twas on the Thursday morning, the certifier came along. He double-checked and didn't get it wrong.


    Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do ...


    With profound apologies to Messrs Flanders and Swann.
