Fire Safety

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the agenda for fire safety compliance across all businesses. The Order consolidates well over 100 pieces of earlier fire safety legislation and its purpose is to simplify the requirements for managing fire safety.

The Order focuses specifically on the need for fire risk assessments and the responsibility of duty holders to make judgements about fire risk and consequences. Many business operators feel confident to implement the legislation but many do not.

Perry Scott Nash Associates Ltd can help you fulfil these responsibilities and can act as your ‘competent person’ (as required by the Order), offering advice and guidance on the practical application of the Order.

Fire Risk Assessments

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires you to carry out a fire risk assessment for your premises, or, if you already have one, to regularly review and update it.

We have developed a number of Fire Risk Assessment template documents which specifically address the operational needs of our clients in the hotel, licensed and hospitality sectors. Areas covered will include:-
  • Fire safety policy
  • Fire hazards
  • Persons at risk
  • Fire control measures
  • Emergency plans
  • Emergency signage
An essential and critical part of a fire risk assessment is the calculation of safe occupancy numbers and Perry Scott Nash Associates Ltd have been very successful in both the calculation and subsequent negotiations with Fire Authorities for premises occupancy figures.

Fire Safety Management Systems

The complexities of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 can be brought together in a pragmatic document called a Fire Safety Management System. Recommended by British Standard 5588 (Part 12), it brings together into one easy point of reference a company’s entire approach to fire safety.

It is a document which can impress enforcing Fire Officers and it demonstrates a real understanding by the business, of their regulatory duties regarding fire safety management.

Perry Scott Nash Associates Ltd can help you develop your Fire Safety Management System and can then assist you with regular reviews and updates.
