The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is the main legislation with regards to Fire Risk Assessments. 118 pieces of legislation were consolidated and rationalized in this document and the old “Fire Certificate” was abolished.
One of the main requirements is that the “responsible person” must undertake a Fire Risk Assessment on the workplace.
A responsible person is defined in Article 3 as:
(a) in relation to a workplace, the employer, if the workplace is to any extent under his control;
(b) in relation to any premises not falling within paragraph (a)
(i) the person who has control of the premises (as occupier or otherwise) in connection with the carrying on by him of a trade, business or other undertaking (for profit or not); or
(ii) the owner, where the person in control of the premises does not have control in connection with the carrying on by that person of a trade, business or other undertaking.
The responsible person must make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to which relevant persons are exposed for the purpose of identifying the general fire precautions he needs to take to comply with the requirements and prohibitions imposed on him by or under this Order.
