Fire poses a significant threat to the integrity of your business premises and the continuity of your operations. With increasing commercial pressures and strict legislation, taking the right preventative measures has never been more crucial.

In the UK, fire safety regulations are governed by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies to all non-domestic premises. This legislation places a legal obligation on businesses and property owners to ensure fire safety within their buildings. The core requirement is that every non-domestic building must undergo a thorough Fire Risk Assessment, carried out by the responsible person (usually the employer, owner, or occupier of the premises).

Beyond Fire Risk Assessments, our services also include the installation and maintenance of Emergency Lighting and Nurse Call Systems. These are vital components of a comprehensive fire safety strategy, ensuring that your premises are not only compliant with UK law but also safe for all occupants.

Responsible Person

The Fire Safety Order designates a "responsible person" for fire safety, typically the owner, employer, or occupier of a building. This person must ensure that the premises meet all fire safety regulations.

Fire Risk Assessment

The responsible person must conduct a thorough fire risk assessment to identify potential hazards, assess the risk of those hazards, and implement measures to mitigate them. This assessment must be reviewed regularly and updated as necessary.

Fire Safety Measures

 Based on the risk assessment, appropriate fire safety measures must be put in place. These can include:

  • Installing and maintaining fire detection and alarm systems.

  • Providing appropriate fire-fighting equipment, such as fire extinguishers.

  • Ensuring adequate means of escape, including emergency lighting and clearly marked escape routes.

  • Implementing measures for fire containment, such as fire doors and fire-resistant materials.

Training and Information

Employees and other occupants must be informed about fire safety measures and trained in emergency procedures. Regular fire drills are recommended to ensure preparedness.

Emergency Plans

An emergency plan must be prepared and communicated to all building occupants. This plan should include procedures for evacuation, identifying safe assembly points, and accounting for all individuals.

Fire Risk Assessment

The Fire Safety Order mandates that every non-domestic building must undergo a comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment. This assessment is the cornerstone of fire safety in any building, identifying potential fire hazards, evaluating the risk to people, and ensuring appropriate safety measures are in place. The Fire Risk Assessment must be regularly reviewed, especially if there are significant changes to the premises or its use.

Responsible Person

The legislation assigns the duty of ensuring fire safety to a "responsible person." This could be an employer, owner, landlord, or occupier of the premises. The responsible person must ensure that the Fire Risk Assessment is conducted and that adequate fire safety measures are implemented.

Fire Safety Measures

Depending on the results of the Fire Risk Assessment, various fire safety measures may be required, such as fire alarms, extinguishers, fire doors, and emergency lighting. The complexity of these measures often necessitates the involvement of a trained professional, particularly in large or complex buildings.

Why Professional Expertise is Important

For more complex buildings, the Fire Risk Assessment may require the expertise of a fire safety professional. These professionals have the training and experience to identify risks that might not be apparent to an untrained person and can recommend appropriate measures to mitigate those risks. This is particularly important in large buildings, buildings with multiple uses, or those housing vulnerable individuals, such as care homes and hospitals.

Emergency lighting is crucial for protecting both your building and its occupants. Its primary function is to provide light and clearly mark escape routes to fire exits during an emergency. This system activates automatically when the main power supply fails, ensuring safe evacuation is possible in the event of a fire. We ensure that all emergency lighting installations and maintenance are fully compliant with regulations. According to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it's essential to equip non-domestic buildings and Houses of Multiple Occupancy with emergency lighting to illuminate exits and escape routes.
