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.

    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. 

    Regards Ts


    A fire engineer eh? That sounds expensive. I might be tempted to buy a copy of B.S. 5839 instead. The trouble is that I live in the middle of nowhere. Civilization, where the technically educated people live, is a few miles away.


    I did read B.S. 5839 a few years ago when I had access to a copy, but I do not have it now, and I expect that there is a new version. Still, there is a lot available as Sparkingchip says in guides on the subject.


    Le's see what my customer's expert has to say when he finally arrives. He may well be a fire engineer. My customer has several rented properties and uses this man for consultations and advice.
