FAQs

Fire safety is incredibly important as it helps to ensure the safety of people and property in the event of a fire. Fire safety legislation requires organisations to take steps towards reducing the risk from fire and making sure that everyone is aware of what to do in an emergency.

From October 1, 2006, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the person responsible for any non-domestic premises to conduct a fire risk assessment. This includes finding ways to reduce or eliminate the risk of fire and identify persons at risk.

You are known as the ‘responsible person if you are:

• an employer
• the owner
• the landlord
• an occupier
• anyone else with control of the premises, such as a building manager or managing agent

You need to do a fire risk assessment of the premises. This will help you know what needs to be done in order to prevent fires and to keep people safe.
