Fire Safety Management

1. A Fire Safety Management (FSM) Document

Our FSM Document provides you with the information needed when completing the PAS79-compliant Fire Risk Assessment. The details included are:

• Descriptions of construction type and layout;
• Calculations of occupancy figures;
• Heating and ventilation installations;
• Hazards introduced by outside contractors and building works;
• Information about dangerous substances (DSEAR);
• Means of escape;
• Measures to limit fire spread and development;
• Means of giving warning in case of fire;
• Relevant automatic fire extinguishing systems.

With this information in one place, managing and assessing the Fire Risk of a premises becomes far easier, and more achievable, by internally appointed staff members who have received training.

2. A FSM Evacuation Plan

A summary of the evacuation plan for the premises.

3. FSM Drawings

These drawings document the 'as-built' fire precautions within a premises to aid the responsible person or the person conducting the fire risk assessment in managing and maintaining the existing fire safety measures. The drawings are indicative layouts, not to scale, showing the main construction features of the premises, such as external walls, internal partitions, stairs, doors, and major voids (where identified). They also illustrate fire compartmentation lines, fire alarm details (including locations of fire alarm control equipment, manual call points, automatic fire detection, sounders, and visual alarm beacons), emergency escape light luminaires, fire signage, and portable fire extinguishers.

4. FSM Logbook

This provides the basic guidance on the frequency of testing and servicing of fire safety systems, and standard forms for recording the execution of fire drills, inspections and equipment tests.
