With the exception of a very few specialised sites and specific risks, the majority of non-domestic premises and sites throughout England & Wales must now conform with the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (the Fire Safety Order), The Fire Safety Order does not apply to private homes (including individual flats in a block or house unless its an HMO) though it does apply to common areas in blocks of flats, shared means of escape and facilities provided to assist the fire and rescue service, such as dry risers. You should bear this in mind if you own or manage such premises.

The law applies to you if you are: Landlord responsible for business premises An employer or self-employed with business premises A charity or voluntary organisation with employees/volunteers A contractor with a degree of control over any premises Premises providing accommodation for paying guests – Hotels/B&B’s/Holiday cottages A residential property with any communal/shared area Landlord of a House of Mulitple Occupancy (HMO) Any premises which is open to the public/consumers – eg Restaurants/Retail units/pubs/gyms Educational buildings – schools/universities/nurseries Medical facilities – Care homes/Doctors/dentists Ultimately, it is everyone’s responsibility to keep premises safe, but there will be one or more people who have overall legal responsibility. The Fire Safety Order states that every premises has a "Responsible Person".
