It follows two recent breaches – the owners of a Douglas bar were fined £6,500 and the owners of a restaurant in Onchan received a bill for £8,000.
Both cases involved a range of breaches including failing to record weekly fire alarm or emergency lighting checks, not keeping a fire alarm in working order and blocking a fire escape.
