Frequently Asked Questions
What will happen on the day of the Risk Assessment? A PRS assessor will arrive at your premises at the arranged time and introduce himself to the ‘Responsible Person’ or person in control of the risk assessment process. The assessor will then spend some time asking a few questions and looking at any fire related documents you may have in place. Upon completion of the documentation/questions, the assessor will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your premises covering all areas. Photographs and notes will be taken via a handheld device to record all risks and hazards to persons occupying the building the assessor identifies. On completion of the assessment the assessor will provide a debrief of his findings prior to leaving and compiling your full report.

If you have documentation in place (don’t worry if you don’t, this will be highlighted in the risk assessment for you to complete if required) the risk assessor will request to see evidence of: •Fire Safety Policy and Evacuation Procedures •Any documentation sent from Fire Authorities •Staff Training Records •Fire Log books (to include Emergency Lighting, Fire Alarm testing, Fire Doors, Final exit doors, fire extinguishers, fire evacuation drills. •Servicing/Maintenance Records (Emergency lighting, fire alarm system, Gas installation, NIC electrical certification
