⚠️ Faulty Electrical Equipment – A Common Fire Risk in Salons, Barbers & Small Businesses ⚠️

During inspections, one of the most common issues identified in salons, barbershops, retail premises and small commercial units is unsafe electrical equipment.

Examples regularly found include:

🔌 Damaged extension leads
🔌 Overloaded multi-plug adaptors
🔌 Mobile phone chargers left plugged in continuously
🔌 Cheap or counterfeit charging cables
🔌 Hairdryers, straighteners and clippers with damaged wiring
🔌 Trailing cables creating trip and fire hazards
🔌 Appliances showing signs of overheating or scorching

Many electrical fires start from equipment people use every single day without thinking twice about it.

Simple checks can significantly reduce the risk:

✔️ Inspect plugs and cables regularly
✔️ Avoid daisy-chaining extension leads
✔️ Replace damaged chargers immediately
✔️ Switch off unused equipment at night
✔️ Use PAT testing where appropriate
✔️ Keep combustible materials away from heat-producing appliances
✔️ Ensure staff report damaged equipment immediately

Under Scottish fire safety legislation, businesses must take reasonable fire safety measures to reduce the risk of fire and protect relevant persons.

A fire risk assessment should identify electrical ignition hazards and ensure suitable control measures are in place.

🚨 Does Your Business Have Residential Flats Above It? 🚨

If your premises has flats, maisonettes or residential accommodation above or attached, your fire safety responsibilities may be far greater than you realise.

Under Scottish fire safety legislation, business owners, landlords and duty holders must ensure that suitable fire precautions are in place to protect both commercial occupants and residents living above the premises.

Too often, serious risks are found involving:

🔥 Inadequate fire separation between shop and flats

🔥 Poorly maintained escape routes

🔥 Storage blocking common stairways

🔥 Missing or unsuitable fire doors

🔥 Faulty emergency lighting

🔥 Lack of fire detection systems

🔥 No suitable Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) in place

A fire in a commercial property can rapidly spread into residential accommodation — putting lives at risk and potentially leading to enforcement action, prosecution, business closure or devastating consequences for residents.

In Scotland, fire safety duties are enforced under the:

📘 Fire (Scotland) Act 2005

📘 Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006

If you own, manage or operate premises with residential accommodation above, now is the time to review your fire precautions and ensure your Fire Risk Assessment is suitable and sufficient.
