If you need help assessing fire risks or in putting appropriate safety measures in place, you may choose to employ a fire risk assessor / consultant to help you. Fire and Rescue Authorities do not complete fire risk assessments but may give you advice about how to identify competent help. Although they do not assess risks for you, it is important that you feel able to approach your local Fire and Rescue Authority for advice when you need it; they will help you to work through issues relating to fire safety. The guidance provided here will assist you to identify a competent fire risk assessor.
The Institute of Fire Engineers (IFE) publish a register of qualified and accredited fire risk assessors.
