Oldham.
From £295 · Site-specific
A site-specific fire evacuation plan produced by ABBE Level 4 qualified assessors for your Oldham premises. Not a template — a document that reflects your building, your occupants, and your escape routes.
Fire evacuation plan for Oldham.
Our head office is based in Chester, and our team regularly produces fire evacuation plans for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Oldham and the surrounding Greater Manchester area.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires every responsible person to have a documented emergency evacuation plan — a written procedure that records what happens when a fire alarm sounds, who does what, where occupants go, and how the fire service is met on arrival. A generic template downloaded from the internet is not adequate. The plan must reflect your specific building, your specific escape routes, and your specific occupancy.
Greater Manchester FRS covers Oldham and expects to see a current, site-specific evacuation plan as part of any fire safety audit. Oldham Council operates licensing across the area. An absent or clearly generic plan is a finding that can result in an enforcement notice.
Where we have already carried out a fire risk assessment for your Oldham premises, we can produce the evacuation plan directly from that assessment — the escape routes, assembly point, and occupancy profile are already documented, which means faster turnaround and a plan that is fully consistent with the assessment findings.

A fire evacuation plan produced by Fletcher Risk Management is not a generic template with your address on the cover. It is a building-specific document, produced by the same qualified assessors who carry out your fire risk assessment, and it reflects the actual layout of your building, your actual escape routes, your actual assembly point, and the specific circumstances of your occupancy.
Everything the FSO requires. Nothing generic.
01 — Building & escape routes
Every route, every exit, every floor
A clear description of all means of escape — every staircase, every corridor, every final exit — referenced to the specific building. Where routes serve different zones or have different capacities, this is reflected in the plan.
02 — Alarm & detection
What happens when the alarm sounds
The type of alarm system in place, how it activates, what different signals mean, and the immediate action required from staff and occupants on hearing each one.
03 — Roles & responsibilities
Named duties for every fire marshal role
Specific responsibilities assigned to named roles — sweep duties by floor or zone, assembly point management, liaison with the fire service on arrival, and the responsible person's specific obligations during the incident.
04 — Assembly point
Location, route, and roll call procedure
The specific assembly point for the building, the route from each exit, the procedure for accounting for all occupants and visitors, and the arrangements for communicating with the incident commander.
05 — PEEP provisions
Assisted evacuation arrangements
Where any occupants may need assistance to evacuate — mobility impairment, sensory impairment, medical condition — the plan identifies the provision in place and the staff assigned to assist.
06 — Special circumstances
Out of hours, lone working, high-risk periods
Evacuation arrangements that differ from the standard procedure — reduced night-time staffing, lone working, and high-occupancy periods — are addressed specifically in the plan.
Every premises type has its own evacuation challenges.

Fire evacuation plans in Oldham — your questions answered.
How much does a fire evacuation plan cost in Oldham?
From £295. Where we have already carried out the fire risk assessment for your premises, we can produce the plan from that assessment without a further site visit. Call 01244 394 244 to discuss your premises.
Is a fire evacuation plan a legal requirement?
Yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to have documented fire safety arrangements including an evacuation procedure. Greater Manchester FRS expects to see a current, site-specific plan during any fire safety audit. A generic template is not adequate.
Does a fire evacuation plan require a site visit?
Where we have not previously assessed your building, yes — a site visit is required to produce a plan that accurately reflects the layout, escape routes, and occupancy. Where we have an existing fire risk assessment for your premises, we can produce the plan from that documentation.
How often does the evacuation plan need to be updated?
Whenever there is a material change — refurbishment, new tenants, changes to escape routes, changes in staffing. At minimum, annually as part of the fire risk assessment review cycle. See our article on how often a fire risk assessment should be reviewed.
Do you cover other fire safety services in Oldham?
Yes — alongside fire evacuation plans we offer fire risk assessments, fire door inspections, fire safety training, fire safety policies, and evacuation chair training across Oldham.
