The Fire Safety Order (FSO) applies to all non-domestic premises in England and Wales. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 came into effect in October 2006 replacing over 70 pieces of fire safety law. The order applies to common parts of blocks of flats and houses in multiple occupation (HMOs).
Legislation applies to you if you are:
– Responsible for business premises
– An employer or self-employed with business premises
– Responsible for a part of a dwelling where that part is solely used for business purposes
– Acharity or voluntary organisation
– A contractor with a degree of control over any premises
– Providing accommodation for paying guests
Under the FSO, the responsible person must carry out a fire safety risk assessment and implement and maintain a fire management plan. This is where Salvum can help, we can survey the premises and comply thoroughly with the current legislation providing your company with risk assessment and implement the appropriate course of action.
Salvum can undertake all forms of Fire Risk Assessment and advise you through the process. Our experienced surveyors will carry out a comprehensive assessment of existing fire safety policy and measures and provide a detailed report containing recommendations for risk management in line with current legislation.
We can normally be onsite within a few days and have the report to you within 2 working days of the assessment date.
As the responsible person you must carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment of the premises. This will identify what you need to do to prevent fire and keep people safe.
If you’re an owner, landlord or occupier of business or other non-domestic premises, you’ll be responsible for fire safety. You’re known as the ‘responsible person’.
The Fire Safety Order also applies if you have paying guests, eg if you run a bed and breakfast, guesthouse or let a self-catering property.

The simple answer is yes. The communal area is commonly forgotten about until either the fire authority request it or at the end of a flat sale. It’s also common that the Asbestos Management Survey is missed also.
