Fire Risk Assessment & Fire Safety Training

Previous fire safety legislation in Scotland has been replaced by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.

Part 3 of the Fire (Scotland) Act came into force on October 1st 2006 and gives greater emphasis to the responsibilities of owners, occupiers and users of business premises. The Local Authority Fire Brigade will no longer issue fire certificates and the responsibility for fire safety in the premises will be fairly and squarely on the owner or occupier of the premises.

From 1st October you must carry out a fire safety risk assessment of the premises. We can carry out a systematic examination of the premises on your behalf to evaluate compliance with the current legislation. The following aspects are covered: -

  1. The physical and structural conditions.
  2. Fire warning systems.
  3. Fire protection systems.
  4. Employee training.
  5. Fire appliances.
  6. Means of escape.
  7. Fire safety management.

For Fire extinguisher servicing and replacement and Fire alarm installation and maintenance contact our associate company West Coast Fire.
