The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO) came into effect in October 2006 and replaced over 70 pieces of fire safety law. The FSO applies to all non-domestic premises in England and Wales, including the common parts of blocks of flats and houses in multiple occupation (HMOs).
The law applies to you if you are:
-
responsible for business premises
-
an employer or self-employed with business premises
-
responsible for a part of a dwelling where that part is solely used for business purposes
-
a charity or voluntary organisation
-
a contractor with a degree of control over any premises
-
providing accommodation for paying guest
Under the FSO, the responsible person must carry out a fire safety risk assessment and implement and maintain a fire management plan.
More detailed advice and guidance on the implementation of a fire risk management plan can be found in the series of fire safety guidance documents available below. These Fire Safety -Risk Assessment guides have been produced with specific types of business premises in mind.
