Measures to Reduce Risk

During the assessment process we will establish what measures can be taken to reduce the risks to as low as possible.  These can take the form of:

Remove

Removing the item that is presenting the hazard if it is not required in the workplace

Minimise

If the item causing the hazard cannot be removed, it could be possible to reduce the amount required.  Such as reducing the amount of flammable material kept to lowest amounts required.

Replace

Replacing a product to a less dangerous alternative

Separation

Ensuring flammable substances are stored in suitable containers and away from sources of ignition

Maintenance and Repair

Ensuring equipment is kept in good order by regular maintenance and repair when required. Regular maintenance avoids the possibility of defective equipment causing fires.

Security

Good security will reduce the opportunity for vandalism or arson

Housekeeping

A tidy workplace with rubbish removed regularly will remove the risks of fire escape routes being inaccessible and a build up of flammable materials
