If you own or control non-domestic premises, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO 2005) designates you as the ‘Responsible Person.’ This means you are legally required to undertake a fire risk assessment. It’s not just for big factories; offices, shops, and common areas in flats need one too. The goal is to identify risks and remove or reduce them to keep people safe. Following PAS 79 methodology helps ensure this assessment is thorough and structured. Ignoring this duty isn’t just risky—it’s illegal. General guidance, not formal legal advice — book a HawkSwift assessment for your premises.
