Fire Risk Assessment Checklist - WSHL

This Fire Risk Assessment checklist helps responsible persons evaluate life safety risks and maintain compliance with UK regulations, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety Act 2021. It covers building and occupancy details, identification of fuel, oxygen, and ignition sources, and control measures such as electrical safety, smoking policies, arson prevention, heating and cooking controls, lightning protection, and good housekeeping. Fire protection measures include escape routes and exits, fire doors, compartmentation, emergency lighting, signage, detection and alarms, and portable firefighting equipment. The checklist supports management procedures for emergency planning, evacuation (including PEEPs), training, drills, and documentation. It also outlines maintenance and testing requirements for alarms, emergency lighting, extinguishers, doors, escape stairs, lifts, sprinklers, and smoke ventilation. Conclude with risk evaluation and assessor sign-off.
