Corporate Health and Safety are pleased to announce the launch of the new Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) Process. This process includes the Premises Fire Risk Assessment Register and Fire Risk Assessment Action Tracker.
Premises Fire Risk Assessment Register
The Register provides relevant senior officers/staff:
- FRA information on council buildings within their service including the date of the current FRA
- FRA status for council buildings
- Access to the current FRA for buildings
- Fire Safety Audits conducted by Scottish Fire and Rescue, and to assist in the management of these audits, to ensure that findings from these audits are addressed and closed.
Premises Fire Risk Assessment Action Tracker
The Tracker holds the total number of actions raised during the current FRA and identifies the service responsibility for closing out these actions. It is extremely important to ensure we remain compliant with fire safety legislation that all actions from the FRA are tracked and closed out in a timely manner.
The register and action tracker can be accessed via Connects along with guidance on how to navigate.
If you feel that you require access to the register, please email: CorporateHealthandSafety@north-ayrshire.gov.uk
Overall, this will be a huge improvement in the way in which we manage fire safety for council buildings.
