Who checks fire safety here

Poole is covered by Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service. For small, simple premises it offers a Business Fire Safety Check: firefighters walk round with you, cover ten areas and it takes about an hour. It does not replace your written fire risk assessment.

Larger or more complex premises are audited by Fire Safety Officers, who may ask for your fire risk assessment, log book, training records and service records.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find what you're looking for? We're happy to help.

What is a Business Fire Safety Check?
A visit of about an hour by Dorset and Wiltshire firefighters for small, simple premises. It is useful, but it does not meet your legal duty to have a written fire risk assessment.
Will the fire service ask for my PAT testing records?
It can. Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service lists PAT, electrical and kitchen extract records among the documents it may ask for where they apply.
Does a Poole boatyard or marina business need a fire risk assessment?
Yes. Any non-domestic premises falls under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
