The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places the responsibility for fire safety on the employer or 'responsible person' for the building or premises. By law, most businesses must conduct a fire risk assessment and implement measures to effectively manage fire safety within their business. If you employ 5 or more members of staff, are responsible for premises that contain two or more domestic premises (e.g., flats or HMOs), operate a premises that requires a trading license, or your premises is subject to an alterations notice, you are legally obligated to keep this assessment in writing and record your findings. My House Online offers HMO fire risk assessments that are required for your HMO (Housing of Multiple Occupation) license application with the local council in Fenland and Borough Council Of Kings Lynn and West Norfolk (BCKLWN).
