Concerns summary (AI summary) Fire risk assessment guidelines did not prioritise pre-alteration reviews, and Junior Fire NCOs lacked specific training on complex electrical overload risks, including high current draw appliances.
Action Taken (AI summary) • The Defence Fire Risk Management Organisation (DFRMO) Fire Diary has been amended to clarify that a competent fire risk assessor must be consulted before changes take place or if the fire risk assessment is no longer valid. • The Fire Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) course content has been amended to allocate more time and emphasis on the fire risks associated with electrical overloading. • The DFRMO Fire Risk Assessment template has been updated to further emphasize the need to record if any sleeping is place on the premises regardless of its primary purpose.
