Fire Risk Assessment
Fire Risk Assessment
The Fire Safety Order (FSO) is a comprehensive mandate that governs all non-domestic premises across England and Wales, streamlining over 70 pieces of prior fire safety legislation into the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, effective since October 2006. This regulation extends to the common areas of residential blocks, including flats and houses in multiple occupation (HMOs).
You fall under this legislation if you:
– Own or manage business premises.
– Are an employer or self-employed with business premises.
– Use a part of a dwelling exclusively for business purposes.
– Run a charity or voluntary organization.
– Are a contractor with control over premises.
– Offer accommodation to paying guests.
