Basics Article 9 – Fire Safety Order FRA methodology – listing control measures People in the premises Passive controls Active controls Associated controls Policies and Procedures

Action plans High priority actions Not complying with FSO – i.e. lack of training Imminent danger to life – i.e. fire door assemblies not shutting in sleeping areas Not following accepted British Standards – not testing fire alarms weekly

Action plans Medium priority actions Guidance documents British Standards Best practice Low priority actions Good practice Magic pot of money

Prioritising action plans Make a plan Easy or quick wins Planning within budget constraints Planning over a three year period Temporary measures Cost benefit analysis

Example plans

Example plans Building 1

Five most common FRA failings Training Testing fire alarms / emergency lighting Practice evacuations Fire doors and compartmentation Communication in shared buildings

training 21.—(1) The responsible person must ensure that his employees are provided with adequate safety training— (a) at the time when they are first employed; and (b) on their being exposed to new or increased risks because of— (i) their being transferred or given a change of responsibilities within the responsible person’s undertaking; (ii) the introduction of new work equipment into, or a change respecting work equipment already in use within, the responsible person’s undertaking; (iii) the introduction of new technology into the responsible person’s undertaking; or (iv) the introduction of a new system of work into, or a change respecting a system of work already in use within, the responsible person’s undertaking.

Testing fire alarms BS 5839 part 1: 2013 Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings Code of practice for design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of systems in non-domestic premises 44.2 Recommendations for weekly testing by the user The following recommendations apply. a) Every week, a manual call point should be operated during normal working hours. It should be confirmed that the control equipment is capable of processing a fire alarm signal and providing an output to fire alarm sounders, and to ensure that the fire alarm signal is correctly received at any alarm receiving centre to which fire alarm signals are transmitted. It is not necessary to confirm that all fire alarm sounder circuits operate correctly at the time of this test.

Testing emergency lighting BS5266-1:2016 Emergency lighting Code of practice for the emergency lighting of premises 12 Routine inspections and tests Emergency lighting systems should be inspected and tested at regular intervals in accordance with BS EN 50172. Functional operation should be checked at least every month.

Practice evacuations Article 15 – Procedures for serious and imminent danger and for danger areas (1) The responsible person must— (a) establish and, where necessary, give effect to appropriate procedures, including safety drills, to be followed in the event of serious and imminent danger to relevant persons;

Fire door assemblies DHF guidance - Code of Practice: Hardware for Fire and Escape Doors – 118 pages Regular user checks and maintenance

Compartmentation – AD(B)

Communication

The opticians side

Five common good things Training – most people have had some form of fire training in their lives, even if it was not recently. Fire extinguishers – most organisations have appropriate fire extinguishers in place, and they are maintained regularly by the extinguisher providers. Fire alarms – most premises have some form of detection, or alarm, that at least the alarm provider is testing annually. Procedures – most places have suitable evacuation procedures and employees are told and remember where the assembly points are, along with how to get out of the building. Building safety – ADB or other applicable building regs are applied and generally followed in most buildings. Most buildings are safe.
