Fire protection regulations in the United Kingdom
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, every non-domestic building must have a designated Responsible Person.
This is typically an employer, building owner, facilities manager, or designated duty holder.
Their duties include:
- Ensuring fire doors, alarms, and compartmentation are properly maintained
- Keeping up-to-date fire risk assessments
- Making sure occupants can safely evacuate in the event of a fire
- Taking action on any fire safety deficiencies or maintenance needs
If the building is shared or multi-occupied, there may be more than one Responsible Person, and their duties must be clearly defined. Failing to meet these obligations can result in enforcement action or prosecution.
