Your Legal Responsibilities in England

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO) applies to most non-domestic premises and the common parts of multi-occupied residential buildings in England.

The Responsible Person must:

  â€¢ Carry out a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment.
  â€¢ Implement appropriate fire safety measures.
  â€¢ Maintain fire safety systems and equipment.
  â€¢ Provide suitable fire safety training for employees.
  â€¢ Review the Fire Risk Assessment whenever it is no longer valid or following significant changes.



Following amendments introduced through the Building Safety Act 2022, Responsible Persons are required to record their Fire Risk Assessment in writing, regardless of the number of employees.

Fire and Rescue Authorities have enforcement powers under the RRFSO and may issue Alterations Notices, Enforcement Notices, Prohibition Notices or prosecute where serious breaches are identified.

Fire Safety Requirements in England

In recent years, several pieces of legislation have strengthened fire safety requirements in England.

These include:

Fire Safety Act 2021
The Fire Safety Act clarified that Fire Risk Assessments for multi-occupied residential buildings should consider the building’s structure, external walls and flat entrance doors where relevant.

Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 introduced additional duties for Responsible Persons in certain multi-occupied residential buildings, including requirements relating to fire door inspections, the provision of fire safety information to residents and, for higher-rise buildings, additional fire safety measures.

Building Safety Act 2022
The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced a new building safety regime for certain higher-risk residential buildings in England. Depending on the type and use of the building, additional responsibilities may apply alongside the Fire Risk Assessment.
Tower Fire can help Responsible Persons understand the legislation and guidance applicable to their premises.

FIRE SAFETY FAQ

Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person for most non-domestic premises in England must ensure a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment is carried out and kept under review.

The regulations introduced additional fire safety duties for Responsible Persons in certain multi-occupied residential buildings in England. These include requirements relating to fire door inspections, resident information and additional fire safety measures for higher-rise buildings.

A Fire Risk Assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to believe it is no longer valid. This may include significant alterations to the building, changes in occupancy, changes in the way the premises are used or following a fire.

The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced a new building safety regime for certain higher-risk residential buildings in England. Whether a building falls within that regime depends on factors including its height and use. If you are unsure whether your building is affected, Tower Fire can advise.
