About us

Firehouse (Scotland) is a recently launched professional consultancy operating within the Fire Safety Services sector.

A position that few if any specialist consultants currently operating in Scotland are likely to be able to match.

 

Firehouse (Scotland) continues to deliver quality service to it's clients on all aspects relating to Fire Safety such as, work place Fire Risk Assessments, fire safety Training all at competitive prices. Clients can be assured that the person undertaking the work is the actual person who has the knowledge and know how, as one of a very selected few in Scotland who have worked within a SF&RS Fire Safety Specialist Department for over 22 years and thereafter as an independent Fire Safety Consultant up to the present. One of the things potential clients should do as part of their own due diligence compliance checks to help verify competency is in the case for Risk Assessors, is to checking that the assessors name appears under a third party approved recognised register of fire risk of assessors and not merely an employee of the company listed. In relation to fire training clients should check that the Fire Warden courses and trainer have had third party approval.

Practical Fire Safety Guidance For Existing Premises with Sleeping Accommodation

In 2006, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 (‘the 2005 Act’) introduced changes to fire safety law in Scotland and repealed previous fire safety legislation. This guide has been produced to assist those who have responsibility under this Act for ensuring fire safety in certain premises with sleeping accommodation in Scotland. In addition, this guide provides statutory guidance for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (‘SFRS’), as an enforcing authority.This Scottish Government guidance provides practical fire safety advice for certain existing premises with sleeping accommodation. This guidance documant has been issued in Feb.2022 and supersedes the previous June 2018 version. 

 

Action Plans

Enforcement Officers in Scotland generally require/ask for a written action plan based on the significant findings outlined in any fire risk assessement, this will form the platform for subsequent visits by Scottish Fire & Rescue Service Community Safety Officers to check progress on the resolution of significant findings highlighted in previous fire risk assessments.
