of people who could be affected. All equipment and systems required by legislation must be subject to suitable testing and maintenance.


STEP 4: RECORD, PLAN, INSTRUCT, INFORM


AND TRAIN It is always good practice to record the signifi cant fi ndings of the fi re risk assessment, the steps that you have already taken and those that you plan to take in order to reduce the risk. In many cases the law requires that the signifi cant fi ndings of the fi re risk assessment and details of those persons especially at risk are recorded. • Record signifi cant fi ndings and actions taken to remove/reduce the risk from fi re


• Develop and implement an appropriate emergency plan


• Inform and instruct relevant persons on the actions to be taken in the event of fi re


STEP 5: REGULARLY REVIEW THE FIRE RISK


ASSESSMENT • Whenever you have cause to consider it is no longer valid, e.g. after a signifi cant incident or "near miss"


• If there has been a signifi cant change in the workplace, e.g. changes to plant, equipment, processes, or substances used etc.


• If there has been a signifi cant change in the number, character or needs of persons who use the building


• Deliver training to employees, particularly those with specifi c duties (fi re marshals). See the Fire Safety Training section (page 22) for more detail on aspects of staff fi re safety training.
