Fire Safety Order: premises fire duties

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places fire safety duties on the responsible person for most non-domestic premises in England and Wales.

Summary only, not legal advice. Check the official sources below.

The responsible person must carry out a fire risk assessment and put in place general fire precautions.

Duties cover means of escape, fire-fighting equipment, detection/warning, and training where required.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 remains the core duty for most non-domestic premises in England and Wales. The Building Safety Act 2022 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 added duties, including in multi-occupied residential buildings. Check current Home Office / NFCC guidance. Scotland and Northern Ireland have related but different regimes.
