What are your legal responsibilities ?
Non-domestic properties are legally-obliged in line with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 to have a comprehensive fire risk assessment conducted at their premises which is followed up by proof of documentation and certification.
It is the duty of the ‘responsible person’ (RP) to arrange the fire safety risk assessment with a credible fire risk assessors just like our team at Absolute Health Fire Safety. Failure to do so will result in hefty prosecutions, poor business reputation, and may lead to fatalities. It’s paramount and a legal requirement that you keep written record of your fire risk assessment if your business has 5 or more people.
Carrying out a fire risk assessment and following through with your duty as a ‘responsible person’ (RP) or property owner is paramount to maximise the fire safety for your employees, guests, and visitors. For best practice and maximum fire safety, we recommend having an assessment conducted at least once every two years.

Similar requirements apply in Scotland under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, and in Northern Ireland under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006. This legislation applies to all non-domestic properties including commercial and public premises, such as shops, factories, warehouses and offices, and also schools, nursing homes as well as businesses providing sleeping accommodation.
