Fire Safety Law is complex and following the Grenfell Tower tragedy in 2017, has become a hot topic, with new enhanced powers to prosecute those who aren’t compliant. Our Fire Consultants are experienced in fire safety and accredited where appropriate. We can offer all the information you need to comply with the fire safety legislation.
Fire Risk Assessments
No matter your business, if you employ one or more people you should have a written fire risk assessment. We offer fire risk assessments for businesses, from small airbnbs to large industrial complexes.
Fire Door Inspections
The Fire Safety Act 2022 introduces new requirements for landlords to have their fire doors inspected and a condition report generated. Depending on the height of the building this may need to be carried out every year.
Are you compliant? out approved fire door inspectors can ensure you are.

The short answer is yes.
Regulation 15(1) of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states:
The responsible person must –
(a)establish and, where necessary, give effect to appropriate procedures, including safety drills, to be followed in the event of serious and imminent danger to relevant persons;
(b)nominate a sufficient number of competent persons to implement those procedures in so far as they relate to the evacuation of relevant persons from the premises; and
(c)ensure that no relevant person has access to any area to which it is necessary to restrict access on grounds of safety, unless the person concerned has received adequate safety instruction.
Regulation 21 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states:
The responsible person must ensure that his employees are provided with adequate safety training
There have been a number of prosecutions in recent years for failure to meet these regulations with fines of over £10,000 being issued
The simple answer is if you employ anyone then yes.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires any employer to carry out an assessment of risk from fire to their employees. Up until October 2023 the significant findings only needed to be recorded if you employed more than five people. However, Section 156 of the Building Safety Act 2022, which came into force in 2023 now requires any employ with premises and at least one employee to record their significant findings.
