If you own or manage a commercial property, you have a legal responsibility to ensure the safety of everyone who uses the building. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a designated "responsible person" to carry out a fire risk assessment, implement appropriate fire safety measures and maintain them to the required standard.
Key responsibilities include maintaining a current fire risk assessment, ensuring fire detection and warning systems are properly installed and regularly tested, providing adequate means of escape, training staff in fire safety procedures and keeping detailed records of all testing, maintenance and training activities. Failure to comply can result in enforcement notices, fines and even prosecution.
