The document provides guidance on the selection and use of risk assessment techniques and provides a recommended process to follow. The guidance does not specify specific methods or techniques for risk assessment, but provides recommendations on the following issues:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A recommended fire risk assessment process (Figure 1 [1])<\/li>\n<li>Tools that can be used for\u00a0hazard identification<\/li>\n<li>Risk assessment data sources<\/li>\n<li>Consequence modelling approaches<\/li>\n<li>Fire risk calculation methods<\/li>\n<li>Fire risk assessment documentation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The SFPE Guide is structured to follow the flowchart presented in Figure 1 [1], providing guidance and information at each step in the process.

This document is aimed at those responsible for approving or evaluating fire safety decisions based on fire risk assessment. The guidance is suitable for building officials, fire authorities or other bodies assessing or approving projects where there is a fire risk assessment. Like the SFPE Engineering Guide, NFPA 551 does not specify specific fire risk assessment methods or set acceptance criteria. Rather, it specifies the technical review and documentation process to be used by the assessors (Figure 3).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4222\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4222\" style=\"width: 515px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4222 size-full\" title=\"Figure 3: A technical review and documentation process according to NFPA.

For each of the five categories of methods, the characteristics of each approach are identified, inputs and outputs issues, assumptions and limitations, choice of fire scenarios, and degree of uncertainty are discussed.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff7700;\">BS 7974-7: Probabilistic fire risk assessment<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The British Standards Institute (BSI) provides a number of fire-related design standards. A framework for the application of fire safety engineering principles to the design of buildings is provided within BS 7974. This document is supported by the PD 7974 Published Document series, Parts 0 to 7. The final document, Part 7, provides guidance on the probabilistic assessment of the risk in buildings. The paper provides a risk assessment framework commensurate with a number of approaches. Specifically, the document provides guidance on acceptance criteria for life safety and financial evaluations that can use either comparative or absolute methodologies.<\/p>\n<p>The absolute criteria for individual risks and societal risk are provided. The logic tree is illustrated using both event and fault trees. An evaluation methodology using complex analysis techniques is also provided. The appendix to this document provides guidance on the probability of fire occurrence depending on the type and purpose of the building. In addition, the average damaged area and damage distribution are provided.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff7700;\">ISO 16732-1: Fire safety engineering &#8211; fire risk assessment<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ISO 16732-1 provides the conceptual basis for fire risk assessment, specifying the principles that underlie the quantification and interpretation of fire risk. The principles and concepts described in the standard can be applied to any fire safety purpose, including life safety, property protection, business continuity, heritage protection and environmental protection.<\/p>\n<p>The principles of fire risk discussed in the standard apply to all fire-related phenomena and consumer applications, meaning that the principles can be applied to all types of fire scenarios. The principles underlying risk quantification are presented in terms of steps to be taken when performing a risk assessment. These steps are first placed in the context of overall fire risk management and then explained in the context of fire safety engineering.<\/p>\n<p>The use of scenarios and the characterization of probability (or the closely related measure of frequency) and consequences are then described as steps in fire risk assessment, resulting in the quantification of combined fire risk. Guidelines are also provided for the use of the information generated, i.e. for the interpretation of fire risk.<\/p>\n<p>The standard also provides guidance on uncertainty analysis methods in which the uncertainty associated with fire risk assessment is determined, and the implications of that uncertainty are interpreted and evaluated. As described in ISO 16732-1, risk management includes risk assessment, but usually also includes risk treatment, risk acceptance and risk communication (Figure 4).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4224\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4224\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4224\" title=\"Figure 4: ISO fire risk management concept.
