Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 , the responsible person for the premises must carry out or appoint a competent person to carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment.
​
You’re responsible for fire safety in business or other non-domestic premises if you’re:
-
an employer
-
the owner
-
the landlord
-
an occupier; or
-
anyone else with control of the premises, for example a facilities manager, building manager, managing agent or risk assessor
​
​
A fire risk assessment is an assessment of your premises, the activities carried on there and the likelihood that a fire could start and cause harm to those in or around the premises.
​
​
​
The aims of the fire risk assessment are:
-
To identify the fire hazards.
-
To eliminate or reduce the risk of those hazards causing harm to as low as reasonable.
-
To decide what passive and active fire precautions and management arrangements are necessary to ensure the safety of people in your premises if a fire does start.
​
​
As the responsible person you must:
​
-
carry out a fire risk assessment of the premises and review it regularly
-
tell staff or their representatives about the risks you’ve identified
-
put in place, and maintain, appropriate fire safety measures
-
plan for an emergency
-
provide staff information, fire safety instruction and training
​
Non-domestic premises are:
-
all workplaces and commercial premises
-
all premises the public have access to
-
the common areas of multi-occupied residential buildings
​
​
In shared premises it’s likely there’ll be more than one responsible person ( i.e. in the case where two or more business operate i n the same premises) You’ll need to co-ordinate your fire safety plans to make sure people on or around the premises are safe.
​
For common or shared areas, the responsible person is the landlord, freeholder or managing agent
