QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Questions you might have
What is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A Fire Risk Assessment is a structured assessment of fire hazards and the risks they create for people using or occupying a building. It identifies potential fire risks and considers the measures needed to reduce them.
Depending on the property, this can include escape routes, fire doors, compartmentation, detection and warning systems, emergency lighting and other fire safety measures. See Fire Safety Support
Who is the Responsible Person for Fire Safety?
The Responsible Person is the person or organisation responsible for managing fire safety duties for premises covered by the relevant fire safety legislation.
Depending on the building and management structure, this can be a freeholder, landlord, employer, managing agent or another party with control of the premises. See Fire Safety Support
What can a Fire Risk Assessment look at?
Depending on the building, a Fire Risk Assessment can consider:
- fire hazards and ignition risks
- escape routes
- fire doors
- compartmentation
- fire stopping
- smoke and fire detection
- alarm systems
- emergency lighting
- fire-fighting equipment
- risks to occupants
- fire safety management arrangements
The exact assessment should reflect the property and how it's used. See Fire Safety Support
What is fire compartmentation?
Fire compartmentation is the use of fire-resistant construction to restrict the spread of fire and smoke between different parts of a building.
Walls, floors, fire doors and correctly installed fire stopping can all form part of the compartmentation strategy.
Inspections and work should all be taken care of by accredited companies, Yuno has partners that can deliver the required standard and certification. See Fire Safety Support
What is fire stopping?
Fire stopping seals openings, penetrations and gaps in fire-resistant walls, floors and other compartments.
It helps maintain the fire resistance of the compartment and restrict the spread of fire and smoke.
Inspections and work should all be taken care of by accredited companies, Yuno has partners that can deliver the required standard and certification. See Fire Safety Support
Why are fire doors important?
Fire doors are designed to resist the spread of fire and smoke for a defined period. Their effectiveness depends on more than the door leaf itself: correct installation, frames, seals, hinges, self-closing devices and ongoing maintenance all affect whether the door performs as intended.
Inspections and work should all be taken care of by accredited companies, Yuno has partners that can deliver the required standard and certification. See Fire Safety Support
Are residential and commercial Fire Risk Assessments identical?
No. The core purpose is still to identify and manage fire risk, but the building use, occupants, management arrangements and relevant hazards affect what needs to be considered.
A workplace assessment, for example, may place extra emphasis on employees, emergency procedures and workplace-specific hazards.
You need to ensure that your assessor is competent and has the right level of training and experience to perform fire risk assessments, Yuno can help. See Fire Safety Support
Does Yuno only identify fire safety problems?
No. Yuno's fire safety support extends from identifying risks and arranging assessments through to helping you understand the required actions and access appropriate qualified experts. See Fire Safety Support
Can Yuno support fire safety across a portfolio?
Yes. Yuno combines expert fire safety support with its compliance tracking system, helping property professionals manage assessments, actions, documentation and ongoing requirements across multiple properties. See Fire Safety Support
