Stay Compliant with Fire Risk Assessments
Fire Risk Assessment Legislation in Scotland
Ensuring the safety of your premises and the people in them is not just good practice—it’s the law. At assured-fire-safety.co.uk, we help businesses across Scotland meet their legal obligations under fire safety legislation while protecting staff, visitors, and property.
Why Fire Risk Assessments Are Essential
Under The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and The Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, all non-domestic properties and houses of multiple occupancy (HMOs) are required to undergo regular fire risk assessments. These assessments must be conducted at least once a year and reviewed periodically to ensure ongoing compliance.
Mandatory Considerations in Your Assessment
It is not only essential but mandatory that employers/duty-holders ensure that, to reduce the risk of fire or harm from fire, the following aspects must be considered in a fire risk assessment.
- How fire could be prevented in your premises.
- How to identify the risks of fire in your premises.
- How to ensure the safety of employees and persons in your property.
- When a Fire Risk Assessment review should be carried out.
Your Responsibilities as a Duty Holder
If you own, occupy, or manage a property, the law places a clear duty of care on you. Conducting fire risk assessments is mandatory, and failing to do so can put lives—and your business—at risk. A proper assessment helps you:
- Prevent potential fires before they occur
- Identify risks that could harm people or property
- Ensure your staff, visitors, and tenants are safe
- Know when a review or update is required
