This requirement stems from feedback from various internal and external Fire Safety stakeholders on current guidance. This feedback highlighted that the current fire safety guides are out of date in some places, require additional sector-specific guidance, are not always workable for both dutyholders (who may not be experts but are using them to complete fire risk assessments) and also assessors and other experts who do use these guides. It also follows changes to the Building Standards Technical Handbooks, follows on from the Cameron House Fatal Accident Inquiry findings and also the Scottish Government's Grenfell phase two report response. As a result, an overhaul/refresh of the Scottish Government's guides by external experts is required. This guidance is required to be sector specific, tailoring to different building types where identified and appropriate.
