A fire risk assessment is only the beginning

The responsibility to understand, prioritise and act on competent advice.

A fire risk assessment is not the end of a process. It is competent information intended to support responsible decisions.

When recommendations are misunderstood, deferred without thought or replaced with an inadequate cheap fix, assurance is lost and people may remain exposed.

Responsible leaders understand the findings, seek specialist support where needed, prioritise action and record the reasoning behind their decisions.
