Description

Use NFPA 551 to approve or evaluate fire and life safety solutions based on fire risk assessments.

The application of fire risk assessment methods in developing fire and life safety solutions continues to increase. NFPA 551: Guide for the Evaluation of Fire Risk Assessments identifies various types of fire risk assessment methods and describes the properties these methods should possess.

The 2010 NFPA 551 helps users:

Apply risk informed decision-making for fire safety
Select fire scenarios, identify representative challenging scenarios and group such scenarios into clusters for the purposes of conducting more effective consequence analysis
Develop appropriate documentation to accompany a fire risk assessment
Evaluate capabilities of those conducting a fire risk assessment

Now with up-to-date terminology for evaluating fire risk assessment methods, NFPA 551 includes:

Reorganized Chapter 7 to address documentation requirements
Guidance on how to address uncertainty when conducting a fire risk assessment
Factors to consider when conducting or reviewing a fire risk assessment
Guidance on how to address the changing effectiveness of fire protection equipment, features, programs, and procedures
New discussion on the role of qualitative, semi-quantitative likelihood, semi-quantitative consequence, and quantitative methods in a fire risk assessment
New discussion on cost-benefit analysis
Details about proper documentation and elements of a fire risk assessment
Guidance on applying risk informed decision making for various fire safety goals including the preservation of cultural resources

NFPA 551

also covers the purpose and importance of an operations and maintenance manual in conducting a fire risk assessment, and the importance of using checklists that address both likelihood and consequence.
