Risk assessment is a systematic process of identifying and evaluating potential fire hazards in a specific environment. This involves assessing the likelihood of a fire occurring, the potential severity of its consequences, and the vulnerability of people and property to those consequences. By conducting a thorough risk assessment, organizations can prioritize fire safety measures, allocate resources effectively, and develop targeted prevention and protection strategies. The assessment should consider various factors such as building occupancy, construction materials, potential ignition sources, fuel loads, and existing fire safety systems. It should also identify individuals who may be particularly vulnerable in a fire, such as those with disabilities or those unfamiliar with the building layout.
