Fire Risk Management Plans and Safety Control

Fire Risk Management Plans and Fire Safety Control

A fire risk management plan sets out how fire safety is managed, monitored, and maintained on an ongoing basis. It builds on the fire risk assessment and provides a clear structure for keeping a building compliant over time.

What Is a Fire Risk Management Plan?

A fire risk management plan is a practical document that outlines how fire safety risks are controlled within a building.

It brings together key information such as responsibilities, procedures, maintenance requirements, and actions identified in the fire risk assessment. The aim is to ensure fire safety is not treated as a one-off task, but as an ongoing process.

This can include structured monitoring of fire doors, fire stopping, compartmentation and passive fire protection measures, supported by clear records, photographic evidence and action tracking.

Why Is It Important?

Fire safety is not just about identifying risks - it is about managing them effectively.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, responsible persons must take appropriate measures to reduce risk and maintain fire precautions.

A management plan helps to:

• Ensure responsibilities are clearly defined
• Keep fire safety measures maintained and monitored
• Support compliance with legal duties
• Provide a structured approach for ongoing control

Without a clear plan, important tasks can be missed, leading to increased risk and potential non-compliance.

What’s Included?

• Site-specific fire risk management plans tailored to your building
• Review of fire safety procedures, controls, and responsibilities
• Emergency procedures and clear action plans
• Ongoing monitoring, review, and compliance guidance
• Identification of gaps and required improvements
• Supporting documentation for records and audits
• Fire door inspection schedules, remedial tracking and passive fire protection record keeping

Who Is It For?

Fire risk management plans are particularly important for:

• Commercial properties and workplaces
• HMOs and residential blocks
• Managing agents and landlords
• Duty holders responsible for ongoing compliance

Ongoing Fire Door and Passive Fire Protection Control

Fire doors and passive fire protection measures need ongoing review, especially in live buildings where damage, wear, maintenance works and later alterations can affect performance.

A clear management plan helps clients keep inspection records, remedial actions, completion evidence and review responsibilities organised.
