Mandatory Requirements
Helping Businesses Comply
Failure to comply with fire safety regulations can lead to fines, prosecution, and serious risk to life.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it is a legal requirement for all businesses and organisations in England and Wales to comply with these essential requirements.
Carry out a fire risk assessment - Identify and evaluate fire risks in your premises.
Install appropriate fire detection and warning systems - Smoke alarms, fire alarms, and emergency systems.
Provide and maintain suitable fire-fighting equipment - Fire extinguishers and other suppression systems.
Ensure staff are trained in fire safety procedures - Regular training and emergency drills.
Keep emergency exits clear and properly signed - Maintain escape routes and signage.
Arrange for regular maintenance and servicing - Annual servicing of all fire equipment.
Failure to comply can lead to fines, prosecution, and serious risk to life. Don't risk your business, your employees, or your reputation.
By law, every business must appoint a Responsible Person. This is usually the business owner, landlord, or manager.
The current Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order has been protecting lives and property across England and Wales for nearly two decades.
Our experts have been helping London businesses navigate fire safety regulations since 1968.
