The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (The Order) covers general fire precautions and other fire safety duties which are needed to protect ‘relevant persons’ in case of fire in and around most premises. The Order requires fire precautions to be put in place ‘where necessary’ and to the extent that it is reasonable and practicable in the circumstances of the case.
Responsibility for complying with the Order rests with the ‘Responsible Person’. In a workplace, this is the employer and any other person who may have control of any part of the premises, e.g. the occupier or owner. In all other premises the person in control of the premises will be responsible. If there is more than one responsible person (e.g. a multi-occupied complex), they must co-operate and co-ordinate with each other.
If you are the responsible person you must carry out a Fire Risk Assessment This will look mainly at fire sources, fire spread, detection, escape and extinguishing. It should pay particular attention to those at special risk, such as disabled people, those who have special needs, and young persons. It must include consideration of flammable substances likely to be on the premises. Your Fire Risk Assessment will help you identify risks that can be removed or reduced, and decide the nature and extent of the general fire precautions you need to take.
There are some other fire safety duties you need to comply with.
