The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

This regime of fire safety enforcement came into force on 1st October 2006 and affects employers and those who are responsible for non-domestic, industrial, commercial and residential premises.

Self-employed people and the voluntary sector are also brought within this regime.

The Order simplified, rationalised and consolidated fire safety legislation and it provides for a risk-based approach to fire safety allowing more efficient and effective enforcement by the fire and rescue service.

See the GOV.UK website for further details.

At the core of the legislation lies the Fire Risk Assessment.

This is an organised appraisal of your work activities and the workplace to enable you to identify potential fire hazards, and to decide who (including employees and visitors) might be in danger in the event of fire, and their location.

You will then evaluate the risks arising from the hazards and decide whether the existing fire precautions are adequate, or whether more needs to be done.

The following documents produced by West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service may also assist you:

Fire Safety Risk Assessment Form (FSFRM058) – Large Premises (545.5kb)
Fire Safety Risk Assessment Form (FSFRM058A) – Small Premises (363.5kb)
WYFRS Fire Logbook (Oct 2023)
