Recording, Planning, Informing, Instructing and Training


FIRE SAFETY RECORDS You will need to record the hazards and people you have identifi ed as especially at risk from the risk assessment. You should also record what was done to reduce risks and need to make an emergency plan, tailored to your premises.


If your organisation employs more than fi ve people, you must record the fi ndings of your fi re risk assessment and the actions you’ve taken. The record should include: • Fire hazards you’ve identifi ed • People who may be at risk • Protective measures you’ve taken or will take to remove / reduce the risk to people


• Procedures that need to be followed in case of fi re, including details of any people nominated to carry out a particular function


• Information, instruction and training that people need and how it will be given


In some small low risk premises, record keeping may be no more than a folder containing a few sheets of paper with the signifi cant fi ndings, the action taken and a copy of the emergency plan. It’s good practice to attach a simple plan of the premises to your record too. Keep a dedicated record of the following information: • Signifi cant fi ndings • Action taken • Systems for the maintenance and regular testing of fi re precautions


• Training given • A copy of the emergency plan


EMERGENCY PLANS It is essential to have an emergency evacuation plan for your premises. This plan will need to deal with any fi re situation and its purpose is to make sure that people on your premises know what to do if there’s a fi re and the premises has to be evacuated.
