Life Fire Safety Risk Assessments for Commercial Premises (BAFE SP205)

Screenshot 2024-11-01 164958.jpg

In 2006, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 along with the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 introduced changes to fire safety law in Scotland (similar changes introduced in England and Wales under Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005)

​

The law sets out responsibilities that the duty holder or responsible person (employer/owner/manager) must fulfil and maintain.

Fire Risk Assessments are required by law in the majority of non-domestic premises in Scotland, England and Wales.

​

Each duty holder or responsible person must consider their own circumstances and capabilities in carrying out a Fire Safety Risk Assessment process. Whilst duty holders are often best placed to know their premises, they may not have sufficient resources, skills or experience to undertake a fire safety risk assessment themselves. Don't worry if you don't have the knowledge and experience necessary because help is at hand! We offer our Fire Risk Assessment service throughout Dumfries and Galloway, other areas of Scotland, England and Wales.
