Perth & Kinross Council Caravan Site Licence Reference Number: BP/PKC/2023/01 Page 9 of 9 RECOMMENDATIONS RELATING TO FIRE PREVENTION (These do not form part of the Site Licence Conditions) Requirement to comply with the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 A full Fire Safety Risk assessment should be completed in accordance with Section 54 and Schedule 2 of the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The fire safety risk assessment should be the foundation for all fire safety measures. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 places a duty on persons in control of a site to carry out Fire Risk Assessment The aims of a fire risk assessment are: • To identify hazards and to reduce the risk of those hazards causing harm to as low as is reasonably practicable • To determine what fire safety measures and management policies are necessary to ensure the safety of people on the site should a fire occur. As the site is subject to Licensing, Duty Holders must record the significant findings of their Fire Safety Risk Assessment including fire safety measures that have been, or will be, taken to ensure the safety of persons from fire and any persons identified as being especially at risk from their fire on the premises/site. All other relevant premises i.e., buildings/permanent structures within the site (under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005) should be subject to an individual fire safety risk assessment. These buildings/structures may fall under different uses, for example, Entertainment, Assembly or premises providing Sleeping Accommodation. Enforcement of this legislation is the responsibility of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Services. Enforcement Officers have powers of entry to the site and/or relevant premises and have broad powers in relation to seeking information. They may also take action, ranging from giving advice to reporting to the Fiscal to ensure compliance with duties under the Act. The Fire Safety Risk Assessment should be carried out by someone with sufficient technical knowledge. In this regard the enforcement authority, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service cannot undertake this role. Further advice and assistance should be sought from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
