Fire risk assessment template (for electricians installing basic fire alarms)

Jimi

From reading IET guide to fire systems it says that BS 5839-6 requires a fire risk assessment. For installing D2, LD2 systems does anyone have a link to a fire risk assessment template? All templates and info I've found online are for non-domestic premises for employers or for landlords. I was looking for something for an electrician installing basic fire alarms. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the replies. I basically want to do everything that I am supposed to do to cover myself and do a proper job. I'd rather not do a FRA and just install the systems that the building regulations and BS 5839-6 recommend, which for my jobs will usually be D1/D2, LD2/LD3. I was thinking if it's easy enough to fill out a FRA then I would just do it.

    The worry is that if BS 5839-6 says I should be doing a FRA before starting work then I should be to not get in trouble if it ended up in court etc. I'm pretty sure nobody out there is doing a FRA for domestic jobs though? Does everyone just ignore this for domestic jobs and use common sense?

    We have never had an FRA done in a domestic property. If installing new or upgrading, we do look at the property, how it’s being used and if any of the occupants have any special requirements/hobbies in relation to being notified of a smoke/fire risk. We suggest further protection if we think it’s sensible, but the final say rests with the customer.

    Also, I simply can’t see most domestic customers paying for a FRA.

    I’m not say we’re 100% correct, just being upfront on how we operate.
