What Is a Fire Safety Plan?

A fire safety plan is a specialised engineering drawing that shows the design and layout of fire protection systems inside a facility. It is the main reference before the systems are executed and before safety requirements are submitted for buildings and commercial facilities. It is one of the regulatory requirements in some cases of issuing or renewing a Civil Defense license.

The plan is prepared according to the Saudi Building Code for fire protection (SBC 801), to suit the facility’s activity, area and regulatory classification.

It brings together the fire alarm system diagram, the fire sprinkler system diagram and the other fire protection drawings of the building.

Rayde Engineering Consultancy designs and prepares engineering safety plans for commercial, industrial and residential facilities, so that each plan complies with the Saudi Building Code and the competent authorities’ requirements and is ready for use in licensing procedures. We prepare the drawings in AutoCAD.

When Is an Approved Fire Safety Plan Required?

A safety plan is typically requested when:

  • A new Civil Defense license is issued for some activities.
  • A Civil Defense license is renewed for facilities that require an approved engineering plan.
  • The activity is non-immediate or higher risk.
  • New safety systems are executed, or existing systems are redesigned.
  • New projects, extensions or a change of activity.

The need for a safety plan is determined by the activity classification, the area and the competent authority’s requirements, not by the owner’s own judgement.

What Does an Approved Fire Safety Plan Include?

The plan brings together the architectural and engineering drawings of the facility’s fire protection systems:

Site Plan

The exact location of the facility, access roads, parking and the routes Civil Defense vehicles use to reach it quickly.

Fire Sectors and Exits

Corridors, emergency exits, travel distances and structural elements, so that evacuation is safe and unobstructed.

Early Warning Systems

Smoke and heat detection layout and fire alarm system design, for early discovery of a fire and a fast response.

Fire Suppression Systems

Distribution of extinguishers and automatic sprinklers in strategic positions, shown in the fire sprinkler system diagram.

Ventilation and Smoke Extraction

Smoke extraction systems that improve visibility and make evacuation easier.

Electrical Safety

Details of the electrical system and the standby power sources that keep critical systems running in an emergency.

Voice Evacuation Systems

Guidance announcements that organise evacuation and direct occupants.

Evacuation Plans

The fire evacuation plan sets the exit routes and safe assembly points inside the facility, according to Civil Defense requirements.

All elements are prepared in line with the Saudi Building Code and Civil Defense requirements.

Difference Between a Safety Plan and a Safety Report

The safety plan shows the design and the systems before execution. A technical safety report is issued by an accredited engineering office after inspecting the facility, to verify the installed systems. A facility often needs both at different stages of licensing.

Safety Plan Preparation Steps

  1. We receive all the required documents from the client.
  2. If safety systems already exist, we survey what is in place.
  3. Our specialised engineering team designs the first version of the safety plans.
  4. The client approves the first version.
  5. We incorporate feedback and revisions, and the office approves the plan.
  6. We review, approve and stamp the facility’s safety plan.
  7. We deliver the final plan to the facility owner.

Documents Required for a Safety Plan

FAQ

A fire safety plan is a specialised engineering drawing that shows the layout of fire protection systems in a facility, such as automatic sprinklers, alarm, emergency exits and ventilation. It is prepared in line with the Saudi Building Code and is one of the requirements the government authorities, including Civil Defense, ask for in licensing.

A safety plan approved by an accredited engineering office is requested for some activities when issuing or renewing a license. Whether it is required for your facility depends on the activity classification, the area and Civil Defense requirements.

Property title deed or lease contract, building permit, authorization if the property belongs to a company or institution, the approved architectural plan, the owner’s identification and the operating license if applicable.

The time depends on how ready the documents are and how quickly the client replies, and on the comments of the competent authorities.

Yes. It can be amended when the facility’s activity changes or when Civil Defense comments, and Rayde re-approves it after the amendment.

The safety plan shows the design and the systems before execution. The technical safety report is issued after the facility is inspected on site, to verify the executed systems.

Plans are accepted from an accredited engineering office. You can ask the office for its accreditation details before signing.
