Looks at concepts of risk and fire hazard, principles of fire risk assessments, responsibility, competence, benchmarks, nine steps fire risk assessment, premises and occupant information, identification of fire hazards and means for elimination or control, assessments for the likelihood of fire, fire protection measures, fire safety management, consequences of fire, fire risk, and formulating an action plan. Also covers periodic review, different types of fire risk assessment and person centred risk assessments.
