Best CHAS packages firms? Legislation in England and Wales stated that if you’re an employer, owner, landlord or occupier of business or non-domestic premises, and you are made the ‘responsible person’ for the fire safety in a building – you are therefore responsible for taking the necessary steps to protect occupants in your business or premises from the risk of fire. It is therefore your duty of care to ensure that all your passive and active fire protection is under a sustained, suitable and sufficient programme of inspection and maintenance.

The Fire Safety Order (FSO) applies to all non-domestic premises in England and Wales. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 came into effect in October 2006 replacing over 70 pieces of fire safety law. The order applies to common parts of blocks of flats and houses in multiple occupations (hmos). We provide professional assistance, guidance and support to ensure that employers and tenants meet their legal responsibilities under Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. There are a number of fire risk assessment requirements that need to be met and checks that need to be carried out to ensure you are compliant with current law. During the assessment of fire risk, our assessors will look at a number of things such as: We will identify any potential fire hazards, Then we’ll identify the people at risk, We’ll then evaluate, remove or reduce any identified risks, Any findings will be recorded, a plan put in place and training provided, Your fire risk assessment should be reviewed and carried out regularly.
