Contractors Fire Safety Policy.
Contractors commonly cause fires, particularly while carrying out “hot work” involving use of blow lamps, work on flat roofs, etc. It is therefore necessary to ensure that contractors are competent and qualified in the particular specialism for which the Trustees have chosen them.
Updated October 2025.
Opening and Closing policy in relation to Fire safety.
Halberton Village Hall Trustees recommend that hosts and event hirers check the condition of their hire with emphasis on Fire safety. A simple checklist to ensure the building is suitable and ready for the event to take place is provided.
Updated October 2025.
Turning off and resetting fire alarm policy.
The ringing of the fire alarm needs to be dealt with as quickly as possible. The fire alarm control panel is situated in the ground floor foyer adjacent to the road entrance. If inside the hall, go down the stairs to the ground level foyer. The control panel has 4 zones where each zone monitors call points located at the various exits around the building.

Managing building work and material alterations
Updated October 2025
Background: 18 High Street Halberton Tiverton Devon EX167AF Experience demonstrates that fires are more likely to occur when buildings are undergoing works of maintenance and alteration, and therefore building work and material alterations should be managed and carefully monitored.
