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 have heard LABC Building Inspectors say that they are not onsite to advise, merely to inspect, therefore they will say what is wrong but not give advice on compliance. 


    That's not my experience on the sunny south coast. I recall that when my garage was extended, they were only too happy to visit (very promptly) when the builder hit a snag.
