What do you do when you discover a fire?
Why Do You Need a Fire Risk Assessment?
From the time these Regulations came into force in October 2006 it is a requirement for all employers, occupiers or owners of a property to:
- Carry out a fire risk assessment of the workplace/property taking into consideration employees and all other people who may be affected by a fire in the building.
- Identify the significant findings of the risk assessment and the details of anyone who might be especially at risk in case of fire. If five or more people are employed or if the property has a licence under any provision it is a requirement that these significant findings are recorded (However, it is recommended that a written record is produced on all occasions to assist when reviewing your fire risk assessment).
- Provide and maintain such fire precautions as are necessary to safeguard those who use the property.
- Provide information, instruction and training to employees about the fire precautions in the property to ensure the safety of all persons who use the property.
Who Is The Responsible Person?
The responsible person can be more than one person and include: the employer; the occupier; the owner; contracted positions of leasehold obligations; any other person with control over the premises.
The order requires the responsible person to ensure all employees, visitors, residents and contractors are protected from potential injury and damage to their health which might arise from a fire on their premises. The onus on the responsible person is to ensure a fire risk assessment is carried out.

Don’t put people at risk. Why should you have a fire risk assessment?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places a legal responsibility upon anybody with control over a premises I.e. employers/owners/landlords to undertake a suitable & sufficient site specific fire risk assessment of all premises under their control.
Key considerations are:
- Persons at risk, including the management of disabled or otherwise vulnerable occupants
- Fire separation and compartments
- Fire spread
- Means of escape
- Assessment of preventative & protective measures currently in place and advise on any deficient areas
- Hazardous processes & materials
