What Does the Law Require?
The UK fire safety legislation lays out the responsibilities that business owners have when it comes to preventing fire, reducing the likelihood of them happening and ensuring that proper measures are in place to detect, suppress and safely evacuate people if it does.
For employers or those who have control over a building, you have legal responsibilities under fire safety legislation to ensure the safety of those on or in the premises. This can be a complicated issue which is why a ‘responsible person’ (RP) is nominated who will be in charge of and accountable for fire safety and prevention measures, such as;
• Carrying out a fire risk assessment of the premises.
• Taking suitable action in response to risk assessment findings.
• Make fire safety arrangements and carry out necessary policy and procedure.
• Inform residence or employees about risks that have been identified.
• Maintain safety measures and ensure fire risk assessment is reviewed regularly.
• See that suitable fire detection equipment (such as fire alarms) are in place.
• Provide all staff or residence with relevant information as well as fire safety instructions and training if required.
• Ensure adequate means of escape such as fire exits, signs, emergency lighting etc.
These are just some of the ways that the RP will be expected to help prevent, reduce and limit the risk of fire from occurring. Failure to take every reasonable measure to prevent fire, can result in severe consequences for those in charge, such as large penalties and fines or even time in prison. This is why a lot of businesses prefer outsourcing their fire safety needs to professionals such as ourselves, who can take care of everything for them and delivering complete peace of mind.
