Risk Description

It is essential that efforts are made to reduce the risk. Risk reduction measures should be implemented within a defined time period. Where moderate risk is associated with consequences that constitute extreme harm, further assessment might be required to establish more precisely the likelihood of harm as a basis for determining the priority for improved control measures.

Validated By

(Where Applicable)

Surveyed By Assessment Notes:

This assessment was undertaken by

98 residential flats, 22 floors, 2 staircases and 2no fireman's lifts. There is a concierge on site. Parking bays round the block. Front entrance and 2no side exits. Play area in front of the block. Tenants room on the 1st floor


The purpose of this report is to provide an assessment of the risk to life from fire in these premises,

and, where appropriate, to make recommendations to ensure compliance with fire safety legislation.

The report does not address the risk to property or business continuity from fire. If you have any

questions about this Fire Risk Assessment please contact:

Direct House, Bridge Road Depot, Abbey Road, London E15 3LX

This Fire Risk Assessment should be reviewed by a competent person if it is no longer valid, or if there has been a significant

change in the matters to which it relates, or if a fire occurs.

1. Introduction This report has been prepared as a written record of the Fire Risk Assessment, carried out at 1-

98, Aubrey Moore Point, Abbey Lane, , London under the requirements of the Regulatory

Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

1.1 The objectives of this Fire Risk Assessment are: a. To identify all current significant fire hazards to which relevant persons on the premises,

or in the immediate vicinity of the premises, will be exposed.

b. To reasonably quantify the level of residual fire risk that is attributed to the premises

and its use, with regard to existing (preventive and protective) controlling measures.

c. To advise on the nature and extent of any additional (preventive and protective)

controlling measures which should be implemented in order to counteract this residual

risk, in accordance with the ‘Principles of Prevention’ as defined in Article 10 of The

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

1.2 Risk Assessments Risk Assessments are not a ‘one off’ activity, and are part of a dynamic process. It is thus a

requirement under Article 9(3) of The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 to review and

modify the risk assessment when either:

a. There is reason to suspect that it is no longer valid, perhaps due to a gradual change in

the nature of the tenancy numbers or type, wear & tear on facilities, a large number of

small changes, an appreciation of a hazard (e.g. highlighted by fire evacuation drill), or

b. the occurrence of an incident (e.g. actual fire or near miss), which triggers a need to

review, OR there is a significant change in the matters to which it relates, (i.e. following

major organisational changes or any refurbishment, alterations or extension).

1.3 This Risk Assessment This risk assessment is a ‘dynamic’ working document that should be used as a guide to

planning future actions aimed at improving Health & Safety for tenants and others who may be

affected by a potential fire at the premise. Notwithstanding the requirements noted in Section

1.2 above, it is a requirement of London Borough of Newham that Fire Risk Assessments are

normally reviewed annually, unless otherwise advised by the Fire Risk Assessment report. Some

reasonable flexibility is permitted to accommodate logistical and financial constraints.


Scope and Methodology

1.4 Statutory Requirement

Article 9 of The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires every responsible person

to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the fire risks to which relevant persons are

exposed, with respect to premises within their control. This is for the purpose of identifying the

general fire precautions that are needed to comply with the requirements and prohibitions

imposed by the Order. The responsible person, or any other person who has to any extent

control of the premises, must ensure that the duties imposed by the relevant articles of The

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 are complied with in respect of those premises, so

far as the requirements relate to matters within their control. Where the premises are licensed,

an alterations notice is in force, or the responsible person has five or more employees, it is a

requirement to record the significant findings of the fire risk assessment including the measures

which have been or will be taken as a result of the assessment and details of any group of

persons identified by the assessment as being especially at risk. This report therefore

incorporates such relevant information, significant findings and recommended actions that are

considered necessary to demonstrate compliance with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety)

Order 2005.

1.5 Identification of Fire Hazards

In order to identify the significant fire hazards within the premise, a checklist is used which

considers the particular fire hazards associated with this type of building and the nature of the

occupancy. The hazard identification process will consider each item with due regard to the

existing ‘control measures’, which are either already inherent within the building fabric design

or are implemented through the management policy procedures for the premise. The answers

to all questions should be YES, NO or NOT APPLICABLE (Na).

1.6 Assessment of Fire Risk

Each identified hazard is assessed in accordance with the fire risk-rating matrix detailed in

Section 4.0 of this report. This matrix has due regard to the person or group of persons who are

likely to be affected by each hazard, by considering the hazards in terms of their potential to

harm (severity) and their likelihood (probability) of actually occurring. The matrix allows the

assignment of a specific risk rating for each perceived hazard, which subsequently assists in

determining the nature and extent of any necessary additional controlling measures, (both

physical and procedural deficiencies), as well as the timescale in which these measures should

be reasonably implemented.


1.7 The Fire Risk Assessment Action Schedule

This Action Schedule details the blend of technical and procedural measures, which are

considered necessary to adequately address the residual risk that has been previously

identified, semi-quantified and assigned a ‘risk-rating’. This risk control plan is essentially an

inventory of remedial / advisory actions which should be carried out by London Borough of

Newham Group or an appointed representative, within the recommended timescales. These

timescales are suggested purely to aid reasonable implementation of the Action Schedule, but

for the residual risk to be reduced to an acceptable level, it will be necessary to implement all

Action Items on the schedule. It is a requirement of London Borough of Newham that P1

timescales may not be exceeded without the recorded authorisation of a senior manager, Head

of Department or a Director.

1.8 Information Source

Information for the completion of this assessment was obtained by a semi non-invasive physical

inspection of the premise, inspection of records and drawings (where available). For accurate

identification of hazard location, digital photographs are enclosed to ‘pin-point’ the specified

hazard.

SECTION FOUR

RISK ASSESSMENT DETAILS


4. Risk Assessment Details

4.1 Fire Risk Rating Matrix

The following risk rating matrix is used to enable semi-quantification of the itemised fire safety deficiencies (hazards) that were found during the recent survey of the premise.

The matrix allows the identified significant fire hazards to be classified in terms of the harmful or unwanted consequences (severity) that the hazard would cause, if it were to occur and also the likelihood (probability) that such harm will occur. These factors are considered with due regard to the existing fire safety features and procedures (controlling measures), which are either incorporated within the building design or procedurally implemented within the premise.

Risk Control Plan

Score Degree Consequence

0 Trivial No action is required and no detailed records need to be kept.

1-3 Tolerable No major additional controls required. However, there might be a need for improvements that involve minor or limited cost.

4 Moderate

It is essential that efforts are made to reduce the risk. Risk reduction measures should be implemented within a defined time period. Where moderate risk is associated with consequences that constitute extreme harm, further assessment might be required to establish more precisely the likelihood of harm as a basis for determining the priority for improved control measures.

6 Substantial

Considerable resources might have to be allocated to reduce the risk. If the building is unoccupied, it should not be occupied until the risk has been reduced. If the building is occupied, urgent action should be taken.

9 Intolerable Building (or relevant area) should not be occupied until the risk is reduced.

The product of the severity and probability factors will equate to a specific risk rating for each identified hazard. The following band matrix can then be used to assign a comparative degree of risk (Very Low , Low, Medium or Very High) to each individual fire safety deficiency. This will assist in determining the extent of any necessary additional controlling measures, as well as the timescale in which these measures should be implemented.

4.2 Assessment of Fire Risk

The table details the systematic approach that has been taken to assess the individual level of risk

that is inherent in each identified hazard / fire safety deficiency, recorded during the inspection of

this premise.

Each hazard (item) has been considered with regard to the specific group of people that it threatens;

its potential severity and its probability of being realised. Existing control measures are taken into

account before determining the nature and extent of any additional control measures deemed

necessary to contend with the residual fire risk that remains.

The table below provides timescales for remedial action proportionate to the risk.

Degree of Risk Risk Rating Score Priority Level for Action

Timescales for Remedial Action ( maximum time limits )

Very High Risk 9 P1 Within 1 Week

High Risk 6 P2 Within 3 Months

Medium Risk 4 P3 Within 6 months

Low Risk 1 to 3 P4 Within 9 months

Very Low Risk 0 to 0 P5 As required

The Action Items contained in Section 6 of this report, details the optimum measures that are considered necessary.


4.3 Sheltered Accommodation Containing Vulnerable Persons

The same method is used but the overall fire risk rating is adjusted up one level. For example, if the

individual risk ratings on the itemised schedule is a Low Risk then the fire risk rating for the premises

is categorised as Moderate Risk.

4.4 Exceptional Circumstances

Where the assessor risk or receiving manager feels the method of calculation has arrived at a grossly

disproportionate fire risk rating, the matter should be referred to the Director for consideration and

advice.

4.5 Extent of Common Areas

Internal and External Communal areas including but not limited to the following: Entrances, Exits , Escape Stairs, Landings, Lobbies, Electrical Intake/service cupboards, Pram shed areas, Refuse areas. 4.6 How are occupants who warrant special consideration identified?

In the event of an emergency any vulnerability information is obtainable from the Housing

database which is available to the LBN Emergency Officer.
