Fire safety policy for Birkenhead.
Our head office is based in nearby Chester, and our team regularly works in Birkenhead and our team regularly produces written fire safety policies for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Birkenhead and the surrounding Merseyside area.
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.
Merseyside Fire & Rescue covers Birkenhead and expects to see a written fire safety policy as part of any fire safety audit. Wirral Council operates licensing. A generic downloaded template that clearly does not reflect the organisation is regularly recorded as a finding — the same as having no policy at all.
A fire safety policy produced by Fletcher Risk Management is written by the same qualified assessors who carry out your fire risk assessment — consistent with the assessment, specific to your management structure, and reflecting your actual fire safety obligations.

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 policy consistent with your fire risk assessment and your evacuation plan, all produced by the same 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
A signed statement of the organisation's commitment, the responsible person's identity and duties, and the overarching framework for managing fire safety.
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, and any third-party contractors.
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.
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.

Fire safety policies in Birkenhead — your questions answered.
How much does a fire safety policy cost in Birkenhead?
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 394 244 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. Merseyside 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 hazards, people at risk, and 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.
