How it works

1

Rate each hazard area

Work through the key areas — ignition sources, fuel load, occupancy, escape, detection, suppression and management — rating each low, medium or high.

2

Get an overall rating

The tool combines the ratings into an overall risk level, weighted so that any high-risk area lifts the overall result.

3

Act on the gaps

It generates recommended actions for every area rated medium or high, giving you a starting action list to reduce the risk.

Frequently asked questions

What is a fire risk assessment?

A fire risk assessment is a structured review of a premises to identify fire hazards, the people at risk, and the adequacy of the controls in place — ignition sources, combustibles, means of escape, detection, firefighting equipment and management. It drives the actions needed to reduce fire risk to an acceptable level.

How is the overall risk determined?

This tool scores each hazard area and combines them into an overall rating, weighted so a single high-risk area can’t be hidden by low scores elsewhere. It’s a simple model to prompt action, not a formal risk analysis methodology.

Does this replace a professional assessment?

No. It’s a basic aid to structure your thinking and produce a starting action list. A thorough fire risk assessment for a workplace or building should be carried out by a competent fire safety professional, considering the specific building, use and occupants.

What do I do with the results?

Use the recommended actions as a to-do list to close gaps — clearing exits, reducing fuel load, servicing equipment, improving procedures and training — then review the assessment regularly and whenever the building or its use changes.

This generator is a basic educational aid that produces an indicative risk rating and generic recommendations. It is not a professional fire risk assessment and does not account for the specific building, occupancy, standards or legal duties that apply. Engage a competent fire safety professional for a formal assessment.
