Fire Risk Assessments in Churches

Church buildings require fire risk assessment to highlight potential fire safety problems and to ensure congregations are safe. The fire risk assessment (FRA) can be carried out by the church warden or other church members, as long as they have received some basic fire risk assessment training. Knowing the steps involved in a fire risk assessment helps to decide whether you can accomplish the FRA yourself or whether it is time to seek professional guidance.

Safelincs has created a series of guidance videos to help you should you carry out the FRA yourself.
