Operating Schedule: 


Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service expect to see, in the Operating Schedule relating to Public Safety, a statement of commitment by the applicant to provide and maintain adequate fire safety measures, according to the risk of the premises, and the activity taking place.
A suitable example of a statement (for premises where persons are employed) would be:

The fire safety measures with which the premises are provided, will be maintained in good working order and their adequacy will be determined on a regular basis, by the carrying out of a fire risk assessment, as required by, and in accordance with, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.  I understand that the safety of occupants is also influenced by numbers of persons present, their disposition and the activities taking place, and therefore undertake to maintain a safe occupancy level.

A suitable example of a statement (for premises where no persons are employed) would be:

The fire safety measures with which the premises are provided will be maintained in good working order, and their adequacy will be determined on a regular basis, by the carrying out of a fire risk assessment. I understand that the safety of occupants is also influenced by numbers of persons present, their disposition and the activities taking place, and therefore undertake to maintain a safe occupancy level.
