Why a Professional Fire Risk Assessment Is Essential in Grantown-on-Spey
Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the “dutyholder” (usually the owner, employer, or person in control) must carry out a suitable and sufficient fire safety risk assessment for non-domestic premises. This covers workplaces, public buildings, and licensed HMOs. Non-compliance risks enforcement action, fines, or enforcement notices from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS).
Grantown-on-Spey’s historic buildings, timber-framed properties, tourism venues, and proximity to the Cairngorms bring specific risks — seasonal visitor peaks, older construction, potential wildfire exposure in dry conditions, and sleeping accommodation in hotels or holiday lets. Our team knows these local Speyside and Highland challenges inside out to ensure your assessment is thorough and practical.

- Identify the people at risk
- Identify the fire hazards
- Evaluate the risk and decide if precautions are adequate
- Record your significant findings and implement them
- Review and update the assessment regularly
