It\u2019s important to remember that this doesn\u2019t just mean guests &#8211; you should bear in mind staff or anyone else who uses the property too.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2; padding: 32px 32px 32px 32px; border-radius: 10px;\">\n<p><b>Can I perform my own fire risk assessment?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The government guidance indicates that for small accommodations, fire risk assessments &#8220;can be completed, in most cases, without specialist knowledge&#8221; by using the guide and a helpful <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/1147723\/A_guide_to_making_your_small_paying-guest-accommodation_safe_from_fire.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>risk assessment template<\/u><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which is included.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you don\u2019t feel comfortable conducting the assessment independently, seeking the assistance of a specialised fire risk assessor is advisable. As the responsible person, it is crucial to ensure that the measures you&#8217;ve put in place are adequate. Therefore, any advice you receive should meet a sufficient quality standard. The Fire Sector Federation publishes guidance on choosing a competent fire risk assessor.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"3\"><b>Identifying fire hazards<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/Fire-Hazard-CCH.jpg\" alt=\"Fire hazard icon overlaid on an interior shot of a Cornish Cottage Holidays property\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of your risk assessment, it&#8217;s essential to identify and address any fire hazards within your property. We\u2019ve listed some examples of the hazards outlined in the government guidance below.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Electrical installations &amp; equipment<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given that electrical issues are a common cause of fires, it&#8217;s vital to regularly inspect equipment in line with regulations, such as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). There\u2019s more information on this in the Government\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/1147723\/A_guide_to_making_your_small_paying-guest-accommodation_safe_from_fire.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>Holiday Let Fire Safety guide<\/u><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or for more specific guidance on electrical safety, visit the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hse.gov.uk\/electricity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>Government website<\/u><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Smoking<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the law doesn&#8217;t prohibit guests from smoking in private spaces, the safest option is to forbid smoking throughout your holiday property. If you choose this policy, clearly display &#8220;no smoking&#8221; signs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Cornish Cottage Holidays, we do not permit guests to smoke in any of the properties we manage, and this is clearly stated in our listings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Arson<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While arson in your holiday cottage is a troubling thought, it&#8217;s an essential hazard to consider. To help mitigate the risk of arson, you should ensure a decent level of security to prevent unauthorised access to your property. Additionally, refuse and rubbish bins should be kept away from the property, and especially windows, to prevent fires spreading from outside.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Heating<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heating systems should undergo annual maintenance checks by a qualified contractor to ensure their safety. Avoid using portable heaters, especially near combustible materials or fire escape routes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some dangerous heater types should not be used at all, as described in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/1147723\/A_guide_to_making_your_small_paying-guest-accommodation_safe_from_fire.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>Government&#8217;s guidance PDF<\/u><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which also lists considerations for properties with log burners.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Cooking<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The guidance document outlines measures to improve the safety of ovens and cooking equipment. The specific steps vary depending on the type of oven you have, but all types require regular maintenance and cleaning to reduce the risk of fire.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Candles<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While candles can be an atmospheric addition for your guests, they pose a significant fire risk. It&#8217;s advisable not to provide candles for guests and to request that they don\u2019t bring their own.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Housekeeping<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Effective housekeeping is a crucial factor in maintaining the safety of your accommodation. Ensure that refuse is regularly removed, and keep combustible materials away from potential ignition sources. Keep escape routes clear of rubbish or storage to allow guests to evacuate quickly in case of a fire.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Furniture and furnishings<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All furniture and furnishings must comply with the Furniture and Furnishings Fire Safety Regulations 1988.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Contractors<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fires are often caused by the work of contractors. Ensure that all contractors are suitably qualified and competent, and adhere to the necessary safety measures when conducting hot work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Dangerous substances<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must be careful to make sure dangerous substances are stored correctly. Barbecues or fire pits should be placed at a safe distance from the property, never on balconies. Gas for barbecues should only be used following the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions, and these instructions should be provided to guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"4\"><b>Fire protection measures<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4351\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/Fire-Extinguisher-CCH.jpg\" alt=\"Fire extinguisher icon overlaid on an interior shot of a Cornish Cottage Holidays property\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><b>Fire escape routes<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The law requires clear escape routes to allow guests to exit your property as swiftly and safely as possible. Consider the diverse needs of your guests, such as elderly individuals, people with disabilities, or children, and ensure that the escape route is suitable for everyone. Escape routes should also be equipped with fire-safe doors and walls. For more information, consult the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/1147723\/A_guide_to_making_your_small_paying-guest-accommodation_safe_from_fire.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>Government guide<\/u><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Emergency lighting<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the event of a fire, your holiday accommodation should be well-lit so guests can easily escape. Consider alternative lighting options in case of an electrical supply failure. This could just be taking advantage of street lighting outside, or providing additional lighting not reliant on the property&#8217;s circuitry, such as night lights, easily accessible torches, or specialist emergency lighting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Fire escape signs<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While not always essential in small premises with clear escape routes, larger properties may require signage to guide guests to safety in the event of a fire.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Firefighting equipment<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guests are not expected to use firefighting equipment, as their primary focus is on evacuating safely. However, appropriate equipment should be provided, well-maintained, and equipped with instructions for use by staff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though guests are not expected to use firefighting equipment, you may choose to provide a small multi-purpose fire extinguisher and\/or a fire blanket in the kitchen area. These can be purchased from various DIY outlets, with options guaranteed for five years. Regularly check the gauge to ensure that the &#8216;stored pressure&#8217; has not leaked. Avoid providing multi-purpose powder fire extinguishers, as they are unsuitable for use in enclosed spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Fire detection and alarms<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smoke alarms should be installed in all bedrooms and common areas, with heat alarms needed in kitchens and other areas where smoke may trigger false alarms. It\u2019s also necessary to install a smoke alarm in your roof space if combustible materials are present. Smoke and heat alarms should be interlinked to sound simultaneously when a fire is detected.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Escape plan<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide guests with a simple escape plan drawing, as they\u2019re unlikely to be familiar with the property layout.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Maintenance and testing<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular testing and maintenance of fire safety equipment and procedures are essential. After all, a fire safety plan is useless if it doesn\u2019t work in the event of a fire. For a comprehensive list of required tests, refer to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/1147723\/A_guide_to_making_your_small_paying-guest-accommodation_safe_from_fire.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>government guidance document<\/u><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Carbon monoxide detectors<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although not mentioned in the government&#8217;s guidance, carbon monoxide detectors are essential for guest safety in your holiday property. It&#8217;s a legal requirement to have them in any room with a solid fuel-burning appliance, such as a log burner or open fire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also consider installing them in rooms with gas-burning appliances, like gas boilers or ovens, as carbon monoxide can be produced by faulty gas equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"5\"><b>What types of property does the guidance apply to?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fire safety guidance applies to holiday accommodations that sleep fewer than 10 people and have no more than 4 bedrooms on the first floor. This includes any type of accommodation, including cottages, chalets, caravans, and glamping pods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please note that the Government guidance covers properties located on the ground floor or across the ground and first floor. Properties with more than 2 floors are not addressed in this specific document. If your holiday let falls into this category, you should adhere to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/422192\/9281_Sleeping_Accomodation_v2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>other government guidance<\/u><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on premises with paying guest sleeping accommodation.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"6\"><b>How Cornish Cottage Holidays can help you<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Owners who use Cornish Cottage Holidays can rest assured that we\u2019ll provide them with guides to property safety and legal regulations.
