A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement under the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations
2006 for all employers or self-employed people. If you employ 5 or more staff you
must produce a written assessment and ensure it forms part of your every day business
activities. Where disabled people form part of your staff you have a responsibility
to produce a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) for each individual falling
in that category.
We can undertake the entire process for you including production of PEEPs and evacuation
planning, or simply produce a written assessment for you to use in-house. We will
identify the fire hazards on your site as part of the fire risk assessment process. For
each identified hazard we will assess compliance with the current requirements by
assessing your existing control measures and determining whether or not they are
satisfactory. Where we consider your existing controls to fall short of the required
standard, we will advise you how to reduce the risk through improving the level of
control.
The fire risk assessment will be produced in compliance with the Fire Safety (Scotland)
Regulations 2006 and relevant associated guides.
