The FRAPT is an online tool that helps Responsible Persons (RPs) to prioritise their fire risk assessments. It does this by giving a score and priority rating for the building, based on a series of questions about the building. The tool is designed to help RPs focus their resources on those buildings that are most at risk of fire.
The tool should not be used as a substitute for a competent and thorough fire risk assessment, which must be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Fire Safety Order 2005. However, it can help RPs to focus their resources on those buildings that are most at risk of fire.
The tool consists of a series of questions about the building, which are designed to assess factors that may increase the risk of fire. Each question is given a score, and the total score is used to generate a priority rating for the building.
