This ground-breaking Publicly Available Specification (PAS) gives a nine-step structured approach and corresponding documentation for conducting and recording significant findings of fire risk assessments in buildings and parts of buildings to which the Workplace Fire Precautions Legislation applies.
The intention of PAS 79 is to enable employers, and those acting on their behalf, to carry out the ‘suitable and sufficient’ fire risk assessment required by the management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations, so as to enable the employer to satisfy the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations.
PAS 79 provides those who carry out fire risk assessment with leading-edge tools and techniques to carry out fire risk assessments and to record the significant findings.
