What do you mean by "safest" way of doing this?? Do you mean safest as in "so I won't get sued back into the stone-age" or as in "make sure you are seated on a five-wheeled chair, appropriately adjusted, with adequate lighting in a room of at least 16C"?

Safest way - say - "no thanks" and not do it! (although not safe for your job necessarily)

What do mean review and advise? Do you mean;
(a) review the findings and advise on how best to resolve outstanding issues, or
(b) review it to see if the actual assessment is good or if it is a pile of brown stuff

Both are very different. I've seen a Chubb Interfire (for they are one and the same) FRA before and it was by no means the worst I've seen, in fact it was good (unlike the one landscape page tabular FRA done by an extinguisher for a private clinic in an old buliding with complex MoE and fire warning issues...)

I think he pobably means an audit of the assessment to see if it is suitable / compliant - from what I have seen there are majorly 'sales' based assessments

Really -the one I saw must have been an exception (although Chubb already had the PFE and alarm contract)

'the electrical risk requires suitable PFE cover such as part no 7732/00 code EC20C, er did I write that I meant a 2 kilo CO2...'
