Fire Safety Policy Standard and Guides

University Guides & Policies

  • Fire Safety Policy Standard

  • Fire Safety Management Guide for Colleges and Services (amended Jan 2020)
  • Campus Services Fire Safety Management Guide - contact H&S
  • Halls of Residences Fire Safety Management Guide - contact H&S
  • Summary of Fire Safety Roles & Responsibilities, Emergency Arrangements (can be used as a handout and / or included in a local h&s induction)
  • Advice for Visitors Unable to Use the Stairs in an Evacuation (may be completed and passed to any visitor requiring assistance in an evacuation)
  • Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans for Staff and Students

Introduction

An internal review of University fire safety management and systems highlighted Colleges and Departments found the existing  HSG 28 Guidance on Fire Safety at the University (2008) difficult to use with regards to determining their specific duties for the day to day management of fire safety.

    

As such, a revised Fire Safety Policy Standard and new associated Fire Safety Management Guides were produced, and which, following much consultation with Colleges / Departments were approved by the University’s Health and Safety Committee in May 2012.

Background

In addition to those general duties in law, the University and its constituent Colleges and Departments, has a specific obligation under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRFSO) 2005 to assess the risk of fire to manage fire safety within the workplace.

As such, each College / Department is responsible for managing the risks it creates or introduces for those areas and activities under its control (note:  Campus Services is specifically responsible for building fabric and services, similarly for Halls of Residences). This also includes the implementation of and cooperation with safety measures established by the University and Campus Services to ensure the health, safety and welfare of staff, students and visitors to their College / Department.

Fire Safety Policy Standard and Associated Management Guides. These documents will better explain College / Departmental roles and responsibilities and ensure the legislative requirements are met, protecting the safety of staff, students and others when working / studying at the University.  

It should be noted the new Policy and Guides will place no additional responsibilities on Colleges / Departments.

Further Information

Colleges / Departments should contact Campus Services if they have any fire safety concerns or queries in relation to the management or maintenance of a building’s fabric and services. 

Any queries relating to the day to day management of fire safety or any request for Emergency Procedures and Fire Safety Training should be directed to Health and Safety.
