A fire safety policy is how you evidence the management arrangements the law requires, beyond the risk assessment itself. Written for your building and your organisation by Kevin or Jon, ready for your responsible person, insurer and fire authority.
Your fire risk assessment identifies the hazards and the actions. But the law also requires you to plan, organise, control, monitor and review your fire safety day in, day out, and to be able to evidence it. That is what a fire safety policy does.
Downloaded templates are the usual fallback, and the usual failure: generic statements that don't name your responsible person, don't reflect your building or your evacuation strategy, and fall apart the moment an insurer or fire officer asks how fire safety is actually managed.
Clear Fire writes a policy that operationalises your assessment: who is responsible, what gets checked and when, how people are trained, and how it is all recorded. Compliance becomes something you run, not something you scramble for.
Six parts, each written around your building and organisation, not a template with your name pasted in.
A signed statement of your organisation's commitment to fire safety and who owns it at senior level.
The responsible person, deputies, fire wardens and every employee's duties, named and defined.
Your evacuation strategy, assembly points, and PEEPs for anyone who needs assistance to escape.
What gets checked and when: alarms, emergency lighting, extinguishers and fire doors, with the frequencies set out.
How staff are trained and inducted on fire safety, satisfying your Article 21 duty.
How fire safety records are kept, and how often the policy and the assessment behind it are reviewed.
A fire risk assessment satisfies one duty. A documented policy satisfies the arrangements, procedures and training duties that sit alongside it.
The Fire Safety Order requires the responsible person to make and give effect to arrangements for the effective planning, organisation, control, monitoring and review of fire safety. Where five or more are employed, those arrangements must be recorded. A policy is how you do that.
Article 15 requires procedures for serious and imminent danger, including competent persons and evacuation. Article 21 requires adequate fire safety training for employees. Your policy documents both and who delivers them.
Regulation 5 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 mirrors the duty to have health and safety arrangements in place and to record them. Your fire safety policy is part of meeting it.
