Inputs:
Data and information from within the Fire and Rescue Services,
such as existing operational information, Fire Service Emergency Cover,
integrated risk management planning datasets, fire safety databases,
incident reporting, health and safety, fire investigation and local knowledge.
In addition, data and intelligence from partner organisations, such as
neighbouring Fire and Rescue Services, the Health and Safety Executive,
building control bodies, responsible persons, local strategic partnerships, or
Category 1 and 2 responders.
10.14
Process:
An assessment conducted by competent persons with the
relevant levels of appropriate knowledge, experience and capability for:
identifying hazards; assessing risks; and using the available data, standard
descriptors and professional judgement to determine whether with the
information available a meaningful risk assessment of the building or site is
possible, or whether a site visit to gather more information is required.
10.15
Outcomes:
A preliminary assessment of the available information and a
determination as to whether a Stage II site / premises visit to gather
additional information is required, or there is sufficient data to proceed
directly to Stage III.
10.16
Fire and Rescue Services may wish to consider how, in the short term, they
can initiate immediate measures to address any high level risks identified
during this stage of the assessment. This may be achieved by providing a
short (date / time stamped) warning or recommended action on the
mobilising instructions for attending crews; however, it will be important that
the responding crews understand that the warning or recommended action
details they have been given is based on limited information.
