What are your legal responsibilities ?
A key piece of legislation for fire safety in the UK is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
This applies to all commercial and industrial buildings, as well as certain residential properties, and exists to keep employees, visitors, and customers safe while entering, occupying, or leaving a building.
Under this law, you are required to review fire risk assessments regularly. While the legislation doesn’t define “regularly” precisely, we recommend having a fire risk assessment completed at least once a year.
For buildings with high footfall, frequent layout changes, or multiple operations under one roof, twice annually is advisable. This ensures your Pontefract premises are as safe as possible and gives you confidence that your fire safety is managed by a trained specialist.
The law also requires a Responsible Person (RP) to be designated. They are responsible for managing fire risk assessments, organising fire drills, and supporting anyone who needs assistance.
