Property details

Establishment: …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Premises Manager: ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Responsible Person*: …………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………… OCC Fire Safety Policy section 3.3 states: The Fire Safety Order places the primary responsibility for fire safety in premises on the “responsible person”. Where OCC is an employer or

occupier (and in some circumstances the owner) of premises, it is the “responsible person” and as such the main duty-holder under the FSO. Where OCC is not the employer (e.g.

Aided Schools etc.) the employer will be the “responsible person” (e.g. The Governing Body, Charity Group etc.). However, in county council premises shared with other employers or

organisations, the other employers and occupiers will also be “responsible persons”

Report fire safety defects to the contact numbers listed below

Non-School premises - Property Helpdesk 0808 156 6659

School premises - Establishments responsibility

In case of fire dial 999/112

Ask for the Fire and Rescue Service and give the name and address of the premises

The Fire and Rescue Service must be called to all fires even if the fire is believed to have been extinguished. Do not call 999 or 112 because the fire alarm is actuating until it is confirmed that there is a fire or that there are signs of fire such as smoke

(see emergency plan/fire procedures in folder for details)

Training Requirements

• Training to be provided by a competent person / qualified trainer.

• Training must include suitable and sufficient instruction on the fire precautions and actions necessary to safeguard employees and other relevant persons on the premises. It should be based on concise, comprehensible and relevant written instructions, copies of which should be retained in the Fire Safety Log Book for reference.

• During the instruction, emphasis must be placed upon the safety of the individual using the extinguisher. In a fire situation, where anyone has the slightest doubt about their ability to use a fire extinguisher safely, they should not attempt to use it. No one will be expected to use a fire extinguisher unless it is safe for them to do and the individual is confident in their ability use it. The instruction should also include the fact that when using a fire extinguisher, the user should always place themselves between the fire and their means of escape, such as the door from the room. This will enable the user to turn their back on the fire and walk away should the fire not be extinguished. During the instruction the need to operate the fire warning system before using a fire extinguisher is to be emphasised.
