Fire Risk Assessment

As per the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 a person is responsible for fire safety in business or other non-domestic premises if they are:

• An employer
• The owner
• The landlord
• An occupier
• Anyone else with control of the premises, for example a facilities manager, building manager, managing agent or risk assessor

This person is known as the ‘responsible person’.

The responsible person must carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment of the premises. This will identify what needs to be done to prevent fire and keep people safe.

A written record must be kept of the fire risk assessment if the business has five or more people.

The Fire Safety Order also applies if there are paying guests, for example a bed and breakfast, guesthouse or a self-catering property let.
