If you’re an owner, landlord or occupier of business or other non-domestic premises, you’ll be responsible for fire safety. You’re known as the ‘responsible person’.

The Fire Safety Order also applies if you have paying guests, eg if you run a bed and breakfast, guesthouse or let a self-catering property.
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.

As the responsible person you must carry out and regularly review a FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT of the premises. This will identify what you need to do to prevent fire and keep people safe.

You must keep a written record of your fire risk assessment if your business has 5 or more people. Provide staff information, fire safety instruction and training.

Carrying out the assessment:
​

1. Identify the fire hazards.
2. Identify people at risk.
3. Evaluate, remove or reduce the risks.
4. Record your findings, prepare an emergency plan and provide training.
5. Review and update the fire risk assessment regularly.
