Regulation

What fire safety legislation should I be aware of as a business owner?

If you own, manage or operate a business, you need to comply with fire safety law in the UK. The main law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies across England and Wales.

You must carry out a Fire Risk Assessment, provide adequate fire safety training, and implement appropriate fire safety measures.

Fire extinguishers must be commissioned and installed in accordance with regulations and manufacturer instructions.

This legislation applies if you are:

  • responsible for business premises
  • an employer or self-employed with business premises
  • responsible for a part of a dwelling used for business
  • a charity or voluntary organisation
  • a contractor with control over premises
  • providing accommodation for paying guests
Is my business obligated to carry out a maintenance plan?

What type of fire extinguisher do I need?

The correct extinguisher depends on your specific fire risks. If unsure, consult a competent fire safety professional.
