The Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 were made under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and came in to force on the 1st October 2006, repealing all previous fire safety legislation, and placing a requirement on Scottish businesses to do a fire risk assessment that looks at reducing and removing the risk of fire.
Under the new law, employers are required to carry out and keep under review, a fire safety risk assessment and implement any fire safety measures which are required to ensure their employees’ safety and that of others in the premises in the event of fire. The assessment also needs to be reviewed regularly. This may seem like another burden on a busy agenda, however compliance will benefit all by reducing the risk from fire and adding to the safety of persons using the premises. The changes in fire safety legislation under Part 3 of The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 commenced simultaneously with the changes in legislation also happening in England and Wales under the new Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order.
The Chief Fire Officers Association (CFOA) has published the Model Agreement for its new Policy to reduce false activations from remotely monitored fire alarm systems (RMFAs).
The CFOA Policy will require all premises with RMFAs to pay a fee to be registered with the Fire & Rescue Service (F&RS) and receive a Unique Reference Number (URN). Via this registration scheme the F&RS intends to identify and monitor the performance of fire alarm systems. Systems generating an unacceptably high number of False Alarms will have the F&RS response level to their RMFA either reduced or withdrawn completely.
