BS 9997 Fire Risk Management System
What is BS 9997?
BS9997:2019 is a valued investment in any organization who manage buildings, be it their own or on behalf of others. The standard is recognized globally and has been developed to address management system failings identified as contributors to many significant fires. BS 9997 was released in August 2019. It is designed to provide a framework for organizations of all sizes to manage their approach to fire risk in a holistic, risk-based way, applying the widely recognized ‘Plan, Do, Check, Act’ test cycle.
This management system framework was devised for organizations with a lot of infrastructure to maintain. It can be applied to those that operate on multiple sites, separate management divisions within an organization, or individual premises within a single entity. It is of particular interest to those responsible for specifying or maintaining properties where there is a higher risk to life or financial loss.
Benefits of BS9997:2019:
- Increased management effectiveness and efficiency of fire protection systems.
- Demonstrates a robust commitment to fire safety to customers and stakeholders.
- Can reduce fire risks by providing focussed risk assessments and controls.
- Assists with meeting current and future fire legislation.
- Increased tender capabilities in the FM sector.
- Promotion of a positive culture across all levels of the business with increased communication and awareness.
- International recognition.
