Fire Risk Assessment

In the event of a visit by an enforcement Officer from your local Fire & Rescue Service for the purposes of carrying out a Fire safety audit on the premises one of the principal areas the Officer will be scrutinising while undertaking an audit will be the Fire Risk assessment for the premises.

The requirement to undertake a Fire Risk assessment is contained within Part 3 of The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005. section 53.

A Fire Safety Risk Assessment is required to be underaken by anyone who has control, to any extent, of the premises and will be required to take steps to mitigate the detrimental effects of fire on the premises. This requirement will however be limited to what is neccessary, reasonable and practical in the circumstances and reflect the level of control each occupier has in relation to the premises.

Anyone undertaking a fire risk assessment must be competent this is generally defined as someone having the neccesary, training, knowledge and experience to undertake the task. Firehouse (Scotland) has experienced 'x' fire safety officers who have undertaken courses in risk assessments, and have significant experience in both auditing and compiling Fire Risk Assessments.
