Fire Safety Management
Why do you need it?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and The Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, if you are an employer, landlord or owner of a commercial premises you then have a legal duty to ensure fire safety within your business. If you employ 5 or more people, legally you must have a written Fire Risk Assessment (FRA).
| Fire Risk Assessments
The aim of a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is to identify potential fire hazards within a workplace, building or from work activities carried out. It also assesses the risk to life of those occupying the building and makes recommendations to eliminate or mitigate the identified risks by identifying suitable control measures.
As with any risk assessment it needs to be suitable and sufficient to ensure the risks are clearly identified.
It is essential that the fire risk assessment is completed by someone a competent person and that they have access to relevant information and support.
A Fire Risk Assessment is like any other risk assessment. Therefore to ensure it is compliant and up to date, it is recommended that it is reviewed annually as part of a periodic review.
It should also be reviewed whenever there are any significant changes that could affect the fire risk, including changes to the building, staff, occupancy, activities, legislation etc...
How can we help?
Eden Health and Safety understand that fire safety is a legal requirement, but also a critical responsibility that protects lives, property, and business continuity.
Our comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment Service is designed to help organisations of all sizes identify potential fire hazards, evaluate existing control measures, and implement practical steps to reduce fire risk across the premises.
Our fire risk assessments are in accordance with PAS79-1 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, or The Fire Safety (Scotland) regulations 2006. This includes reviewing all aspects of fire prevention, detection, and evacuation procedures, ensuring that both physical systems and management protocols are fully compliant with current legislation.
Whether you operate a holiday let, or manage a small office, a multi-site estate, or a high-risk industrial unit, we tailor our assessments to reflect the unique characteristics and challenges of your business operations.
Following the on-site inspection, we provide a clear, jargon-free report that outlines significant findings, evaluates the level of risk, and prioritises actionable recommendations.
We also include a bespoke fire safety action plan, enabling your organisation to take informed steps toward improving fire safety culture, reducing liability, and maintaining legal compliance.
