Fire Safety Strategy & Compliance Services

Who Is Responsible for Fire Safety Compliance?

Under UK law, responsibility for fire safety lies with the “responsible person” — often the building owner, employer, or landlord. According to fire safety legislation, they must:

• Arrange fire risk assessments (yes, they are a legal requirement)
• Implement fire and evacuation procedures
• Maintain fire safety equipment and keep a fire register
• Follow ACOP (Approved Code of Practice) guidelines and fire safety policy requirements

Failure to meet these obligations can result in prosecution. Authorities such as local fire services and building control bodies enforce these regulations.

Is a Fire Risk Assessment a Legal Requirement?

Yes. A fire risk assessment is required by law under the RRF(S)O and other fire safety regulations 2023–2024. Our team provides assessments tailored to:

• Small buildings and HMOs in line with LACORS fire safety guidance
• Commercial properties with fire door regulations compliance
• Construction sites with strict fire stopping regulations UK
• Care homes where fire safety in care homes legislation applies
