Fire Risk Assessment.

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.

    Have you ever thought about pulling in a more experienced fire engineer to work along side you on certain jobs?

    I have a local electrician who I use and also supplement my working knowledge on electrical stuff it's just nice to have someone to bounce off as by trade I'm a fire & security engineer. It works has this arrangement helps us both.
