Fire safety
policy for
North Wales Coast.
From £295 · Organisation-specific
A written fire safety policy produced by ABBE Level 3 and 4 qualified assessors for your North Wales Coast organisation. Not a generic template — a document specific to your management structure, your premises, and your obligations.
Fire safety policy for North Wales Coast.
The North Wales coast, from Llandudno and Conwy to Rhyl and Prestatyn, has one of the highest concentrations of hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation in Wales, along with care homes and a large stock of converted Victorian buildings. North Wales Fire and Rescue Service is the enforcing authority.
Our head office is in Chester and our team regularly produces written fire safety policies for businesses, landlords, and property managers across North Wales Coast.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to plan, organise, control, monitor, and review the fire safety arrangements in their premises. A written fire safety policy is the document that records how those arrangements work in practice — who is responsible for what, how fire safety is managed day to day, and how the arrangements are reviewed and maintained over time.
A fire safety policy produced by Fletcher Risk Management is written by the same qualified assessors who carry out your fire risk assessment — it is consistent with the assessment, references the specific management arrangements in your organisation, and reflects your actual fire safety obligations rather than a generic statement of intent.

The fire safety policy, the fire risk assessment, and the fire evacuation plan are three separate documents with three distinct jobs — and all three are required under the FSO. A fire safety policy that is consistent with your fire risk assessment and your evacuation plan, all produced by the same qualified assessors, is the most credible documentation package a responsible person can present to a fire authority inspector.

The management framework behind the assessment.
01 — Policy statement
The organisation's commitment to fire safety
A signed statement of the organisation's commitment, the responsible person's identity and duties, and the overarching framework for managing fire safety across all premises covered by the policy.
02 — Roles & responsibilities
Who is responsible for what
Named or role-based responsibilities for every element of fire safety management — from the responsible person to fire marshals, facilities managers, maintenance staff, and any third-party contractors with fire safety obligations.
03 — Fire risk assessment
How assessments are commissioned and reviewed
The policy records who commissions the fire risk assessment, how frequently it is reviewed, and what circumstances trigger an unscheduled review — referenced to the current assessment by date.
04 — System maintenance
How fire safety systems are maintained
The schedule and responsible persons for maintaining all fire safety systems — detection and alarm, emergency lighting, extinguishers, fire doors, and any other building-specific equipment.
05 — Training arrangements
How staff are trained and records maintained
How and when staff receive fire safety training, who delivers it, how records are kept, and how new starters are inducted into the organisation's fire safety procedures.
06 — Review & monitoring
How the policy is kept current
The review cycle for the policy itself — how frequently it is formally reviewed, who carries out the review, and the circumstances that trigger an immediate revision.
Every organisation type has its own management obligations.

How fire safety is enforced across North Wales Coast
North Wales Coast is covered by North Wales Fire and Rescue Service. In the year to March 2025 it carried out 320 fire safety audits, and 24.1% required further action: the lowest rate of the three Welsh fire and rescue services.
Inspectors look for evidence that fire safety is organised, recorded and reviewed, and a written policy is how you show it.
Audit results partly reflect how each service targets its inspections, so they show where enforcement attention falls rather than how safe an area is. Source: StatsWales, year ending March 2025.

How much does a fire safety policy cost in North Wales Coast?
From £295. Where we have already carried out the fire risk assessment for your premises, the policy can be produced from that assessment directly. Call 01244 450 990 to discuss your organisation.
Is a fire safety policy a legal requirement?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to plan, organise, control, monitor, and review fire safety arrangements — a written fire safety policy is the standard way of meeting that requirement. North Wales Fire & Rescue expects to see a written policy for any non-domestic premises.
How is a fire safety policy different from a fire risk assessment?
The fire risk assessment identifies the hazards, the people at risk, and the precautions required. The fire safety policy records how those precautions are managed — who is responsible, how systems are maintained, how staff are trained, and how the arrangements are reviewed. Both are required.
How often does the policy need to be reviewed?
Whenever the organisation changes in a way that affects the fire safety arrangements, and at minimum annually as part of the overall fire safety management review cycle.
Do you cover other fire safety services in North Wales Coast?
