Community Risk Management

 

Integrated Risk Managment Planning

In August 2003, The Scottish Executive instructed each Fire Authority to produce an Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP) as part of the modernisation agenda of the Fire and Rescue Service.

IRMP is our new approach to providing emergency cover in Highlands and Islands working towards improving community safety and strong partnerships with other agencies, to reduce injuries and deaths across a wide range of life threatening emergencies such as fires, road traffic collisions and other special service related incidents.
 
The Service has made great strides in pursuing this challenging agenda of modernisation, however, to ensure that it will continue to be able to meet the changing demands it faces, it has been necessary to review the structure of the organisation.
 
This review has been undertaken by the Service’s Executive Team in consultation with the Senior Management Team and informal consultations with a range of internal and external stake holders. The proposed restructure is a result of this comprehensive review. Some significant improvements identified within the review are:
 
  • Development of the Retained Duty System to provide an enhanced structure and career path
  • Introduction of specialist staff in key areas
  • Sustained improvements in the delivery of service

This is Highland & Islands Fire Board's 4th Integrated Risk Management (IRMP) Action Plan, and we believe the options for the projects contained within this document will contribute to improving the safety of our community, fire-fighters and our Service Delivery.   The emphasis of the modern Fire and Rescue Service is on reducing the risk from fire and other emergencies.  We are committed to providing a service that identifies, reduces and controls those risks and wherever possible preventing emergencies from happening in the first place.

 

If you have any queries about the Integrated Risk Management Plan, projects proposed as part of the Action Plan or would like copies of any documents, please telephone the IRMP Team on 01463 227000 or email irmp_coord@hifrs.org
