Every duty holder of non domestic premises in the UK must comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This legislation identifies that the duty holder of the premises must arrange for the following:
- Carry out a fire safety risk assessment (record it should they employ 5 or more)
- Keep sources of ignition and flammable substances apart
- Avoid accidental fires
- Ensure good housekeeping at all times
- Consider how to detect fires and how to warn people quickly if they start
- Have the correct fire-fighting equipment for putting a fire out quickly
- Keep fire exits and escape routes clearly marked and unobstructed at all times
- Ensure your workers receive appropriate training on procedures they need to follow, including fire drills
- Review and update your risk assessment regularly
