From October 2006, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO), came into effect. This requires the responsible person (employer, occupier or owner) to take reasonable steps to reduce the risk from fire and ensure safe escape for both employees and visitors.

Ensure all employees are provided with adequate safety training at the time they are first employed and on being exposed to new and increased risks.

Appoint one or more ‘competent persons’ to assist with fire safety in the workplace and provide them with sufficient training to remain effective in reducing the risks from fire hazards.

The law applies to you if you are:

  • A contractor with a degree of control over any premises
  • Providing accommodation for paying guests
  • Responsible for business premises
  • An employer or self-employed with business premises

The ‘responsible person’, as defined by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO), must ensure that a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out and that appropriate measures are taken to reduce or eliminate the risk. This could be an employer, owner, landlord or occupier of the premises.

A fire risk assessment is an organized and methodical look at your premises, the activities carried out there and the likelihood that a fire could start and cause harm to those in and around the premises. It identifies the fire hazards, people at risk and what is in place to prevent a fire, as well as action needed to reduce the risks. The assessment should be reviewed regularly or when significant changes occur.

A Fire Management Plan outlines the procedures and policies that are in place to minimize the risk of fire in the workplace. It should include details of how fire risk is assessed, how the workplace and equipment are maintained to reduce the risk of fire, how staff are trained in fire safety procedures and what steps must be taken in the event of a fire. The plan should also detail the roles and responsibilities of personnel with respect to fire safety management.

A fire warden is someone who has been trained to take responsibility for the evacuation of people in the event of a fire. They are responsible for ensuring that everyone knows what to do in an emergency, monitoring areas affected by a fire and helping with any necessary rescue operations. Fire wardens should be identified and trained in accordance with the Fire Safety Order.
