Title: Funniest FRA i've ever done?
Post by: Big T on August 19, 2009, 12:14:47 PM
All,

I carried out a review of a fire risk assessment yesterday.

Whilst sitting in my car in the car park I saw smoke bilowing from the windows at the end of the premises. The bloody ink hadn't even dried!

Yes, the building was on fire (well some burnt food in a flat, but as a man I am allowed to sex this story up a bit)

I ended up having to put out a small fire in a flat (burning Naan Bread) and liaise with the fire service for an hour. You couldn't write it.

Other options that went through my mind were as follows:

Option 1

Re write FRA?

Issue                     Recommended Solution       Priority and time scale      Who to action?
Building is on fire         Call Fire Brigade             Very High - Immediate           Me



Option 2

Tear up the FRA, ring the managing agent and say I would be late and drive off into the sunset......

But did you do a risk assessment before you decided to fight the fire?

I think that would be more of a process risk wouldn't it?
