  PCK02  Fire assessment pack Price:  £29
 

When to use:

In October 2006, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 became effective. The obligations of all businesses have been increased.  There are no exceptions.  Even if you have no employees, the regulations apply to cover other visitors to your premises.

 

There are three good reasons to buy this pack

First, Net Lawman has drawn a set of Fire Safety document templates to create for you a low cost route to compliance.  As with all such documents, simply completing a form does not automatically mean you have complied.  The purpose of the regulations is to make us all consider fire risks, reduce them where possible and inform everyone as appropriate.  However, if you have a legal claim, or an employment claim, or simply a visit from your insurer, it will be difficult for anyone to say you have failed to comply, if these documents are in place.

 

Second, if you have the documents in place, it is very easy to diarise ahead a few months and update them.  You can turn another piece of mind boggling red tape into a 30 minute task. (Note however, that in law, the duty is ongoing and requires constant monitoring!)

 

Third, and most important for many, is that it saves you money!

 

What is included?

There are eight documents in the set. Each document is described below. You are advised to use all of the documents – they work best by cross-referencing against each other.

Documents under "Fire assessment pack"
 
  HSE41 Fire Safety Policy  
  The Fire Safety Policy ensures that essential fire procedures are made known to staff. The Policy outlines the businesses goals regarding fire assessment and ensures that the aims of the business are recorded in line with the new legislation.
 
  HSE42 Employee fire safety questionnaire  
  The Employee Fire Safety Questionnaire provides a non-exhaustive checklist of questions to help employers ensure that staff are fully aware of the company\'s policy and measures to prevent and reduce fire hazards.
 
  HSE43 Fire safety assessment form and checklist  
  The Fire safety assessment form and checklist is a simple yet effective breakdown of everything which requires checking. It should be the first document used as a measure of fire risk assessment. It identifies issues requiring further action and points out weaknesses within an organisation. It can be used to comply with steps 1 – 5 of the regulations, thereby ensuring all areas of risk assessment have been covered.
 
  HSE44 Fire Safety evacuation procedure  
  The Fire Safety Policy ensures compliance with the new fire regulations in that it communicates everything that has been learnt regarding the risk assessment, into practical advice and duties about how best to evacuate the building. As well an part of an employee induction pack, this evacuation procedure can be used as a prompt sheet in case of emergency.
 
  HSE45 Fire drill practise record  
  The Fire drill practise record will help to prompt and monitor fire drills. In order to comply with legislation, fire drills should be completed annually as a minimum; however, a more frequent fire practise would ensure higher compliance. The record allows you to record successes and failures, record these and then take subsequent action.
 
  HSE46 Fire alarm check record  
  The fire alarm check record provides a procedure by which fire safety equipment can be tested and checked. By recording the checks and results on the document, the employer ensures consistency and that the high standards of work by the assessors are adhered to. The Fire alarm check record aids in satisfying that steps 4 (record and review of risks) and 5 (revise the risks) (of the steps recommend in the fire regulations) are complied with.
 
  HSE47 Fire risk assessment action plan  
  The Fire risk assessment action plan should be used as a reference which lists all the risks, the action required to remove the risks and the people responsible for ensuring the action is taken. The action plan ensures compliance with steps 4 and 5 of the new fire regulations.
