FIRE Risk Assessment Evaluation Form (Part 2)

This document evaluates fire risks in a warehouse. It identifies 10 work activities or practices that could potentially cause fires, including charging batteries near flammables, using electrical heat sources near cardboard, leaving electrical equipment switched on unattended, using extension cords, and leaving forklift engines running unattended. For each risk, it evaluates the existing controls and recommends additional controls to reduce the likelihood and severity of potential fires, along with target dates for implementing the controls. The goal is to reduce risk values through safety training, equipment maintenance, prohibiting unsafe practices, and other measures.
