FRA upgrade works: the detail

Fire Risk Assessment Compliance & Electrical Remedial Work

What is an FRA and FRA Upgrades?

An FRA (Fire Risk Assessment) is a detailed evaluation of the potential fire hazards within a property. This assessment helps identify areas at risk and ensures that the necessary precautions are in place to safeguard people and property. FRA upgrades in St Albans and Hertfordshire are required when an existing hazard is discovered, and remedial work is needed to reduce the fire risk. These upgrades are vital in meeting safety regulations and ensuring that your property remains compliant with fire safety laws.

The local government association recommends that an FRA be conducted every four years to ensure that fire risks are continuously addressed and mitigated.

What Are the Main Components of an FRA?

An FRA includes several key components to ensure that fire risks are adequately addressed:

  • Identify any fire hazards within the property.
  • Identify the people at risk , including residents, employees, or visitors.
  • Evaluate, remove, or reduce the risk to ensure safety.
  • Record the findings and prepare an emergency evacuation plan.
  • Review and update the assessment regularly to keep it current.

For properties requiring upgrades following an FRA, FRA upgrades in Hertfordshire are essential to ensure compliance and reduce the risk of fire-related incidents.

Why Do You Need to Complete an FRA?

Questions we’re asked

Do you carry out fire risk assessments?

No. We complete the electrical actions that arise from an assessment carried out by a competent assessor. That separation is deliberate, as the person who assesses should not mark their own homework.

Can you work to a deadline in an enforcement notice?

We will tell you honestly whether the date is achievable once we have seen the list. Call the office early if a notice has been served.

Do you do fire stopping?

We make good penetrations that arise from our own cabling and containment work. Specialist compartmentation is referred to a specialist contractor.

Need it done by a date?

Tell us the deadline. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can hit it — and we usually can.
