Fire Safety Order 2005 Understanding Your Responsibilities

The Fire Safety Order 2005 is a cornerstone of fire safety legislation in the UK. Understanding the Fire Safety Order 2005, officially known as the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, is essential for anyone responsible for a non-domestic property, including landlords and business owners. This guide outlines the key aspects of the order and how to ensure compliance.

The main purpose of the Fire Safety Order 2005 is to make certain that fire safety measures are carried out on non-domestic properties. Anyone in charge of the property must have the legal obligation to make sure this happens. The “responsible person” includes the property owner, landlords and also business owners. The duty is to carry out a fire assessment.

To comply, the “responsible person” must follow the steps listed in the law, beginning with carrying out a fire assessment of their building. Following the creation of the fire assessment, it is up to the responsible person to make changes and report all findings.
