In England and Wales, if you’re an employer, owner, landlord or occupier of business or other non-domestic premises, you’re responsible for fire safety and are known as the ‘responsible person’.

Not only can you face going to prison if you don’t follow the required fire safety regulations, but you also put your staff at risk of serious injury. You can read more information about this here.

When completing a fire risk assessment in the workplace, you will need to have considered all of the below steps and ensure you have taken appropriate action regarding:

• Emergency routes and exits
• Fire detection and warning systems
• Fire fighting equipment
• Removal or safe storage of dangerous substances
• Emergency fire evacuation plan
• Needs of vulnerable people
• Providing information to employees and other people on the premises
• Fire safety training for staff
