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In 2006, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 (‘the 2005 Act’) introduced changes to fire safety law in Scotland and repealed previous fire safety legislation.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.
