Your Legal Responsibilities in the West Midlands
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO) applies to most non-domestic premises and the common parts of multi-occupied residential buildings throughout the West Midlands.
The Responsible Person must:
- Carry out a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment.
- Implement appropriate fire safety measures.
- Maintain fire safety systems and equipment.
- Provide suitable fire safety training for employees.
- Review the Fire Risk Assessment whenever it is no longer valid or following significant changes.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 safety legislation is enforced throughout the region by West Midlands Fire Service, which has powers under the RRFSO to issue Alterations Notices, Enforcement Notices and Prohibition Notices, and to prosecute where serious breaches are identified.
Fire Safety Requirements for Businesses in the West Midlands
Businesses, landlords and organisations across the West Midlands must comply with current fire safety legislation applicable in England.
This includes:
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
These regulations introduced additional duties for Responsible Persons in certain residential buildings, including requirements relating to fire door inspections, resident information and additional fire safety measures for higher-rise buildings.
Building Safety Act 2022
The Building Safety Act 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 advise Responsible Persons on the legislation and guidance applicable to their premises.
