A fire risk assessment for campsites is essential for ensuring the safety of all visitors. It involves identifying potential fire hazards, such as campfires, flammable materials, and faulty electrical equipment. By evaluating who might be at risk—campers, staff, and nearby residents—proper control measures can be implemented. These may include designated fire pits, safe storage practices, and readily available fire extinguishers. Additionally, having a clear emergency plan in place ensures that everyone knows evacuation routes and safety, creating a secure environment for all.
