The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, reinforced by the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Building Safety Act 2022, requires every responsible person in non-domestic premises to carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment.
Who is the responsible person?
Typically the employer, owner, landlord or occupier. In multi-occupied residential buildings, the responsible person(s) must assess structure, external walls, flat entrance doors and common parts.
Review frequency
FRAs must be reviewed regularly and whenever there is a significant change to the premises, occupancy or activities.
