The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 came into effect in October 2006 and applies to all non domestic premises in England and Wales. 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 guests
This order requires that the relevant duty holder for a company/site must carry out a fire safety risk assessment and implement and maintain a fire risk management plan. The legislation accepts that a company may source such an outside solution, however, but the duty holder still retains ultimate responsibility for the matter.
