Fire Safety Legislation
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO) is the most important piece of legislation that businesses need to comply with. It applies to England and Wales and requires business owners to:
- ensure premises reach the required fire safety standards
- ensure all employees complete adequate fire safety training
Essentially, the RRO requires that all reasonable steps have been taken to reduce the risk of fire, and that people are able to escape safely should a fire occur.
The RRO applies to almost all commercial premises, and some type of domestic premises – for example the communal areas in blocks of flats.
Premises types include: commercial businesses, shops, offices, care facilities, factories, warehouses, community halls, schools, pubs, restaurants, hostels, hotels, and the common areas of multi-family housing units.

Fire Alarms
Fire alarms are the main aspect of your fire safety protection strategy for your business. It is essential to have it designed, installed, commissioned and maintained by a 3rd party accredited company such as BAFE.
Gas Suppression Systems
In areas where a Sprinkler System could be damaging to the contents of a room, Gas Suppression Systems can eliminate a fire with no damage to electrical equipment.
Sprinkler Systems
With a risk of pipes freezing in certain conditions, it is vitally important to install the right Sprinkler System suited for the conditions of your property. Otherwise, your Sprinkler System may fail when it’s needed most.
Water Mist Systems
High pressure Water Mist Systems are an effective fire protection system which helps to minimise water damage to property in the event of a fire. They are easily retrofitted to most properties making them a better choice in many locations.
Emergency Lighting
In the event of an emergency and the loss of lighting, emergency lighting plays a crucial role in the assistance of an evacuation from any property. By lighting escape routes, occupants are more easily able to find the quickest and safest exit from a building.
Fire Extinguishers
Installing the right type of Fire Extinguishers is important when assessing the risk to any property. With five main types of extinguisher and six different classes of fire types, matching the correct extinguisher to the fire is crucial. Using the wrong type of Fire Extinguisher may make a fire worse.
Fire Safety Training
It is a legal requirement of the RRO that your employees are safe in their place of work from the risk of fire. Ensuring they know what to do in the event of a fire is fundamental to fulfilling these requirements.
Fire Risk Assessments
It is the role of the “Responsible Person” looking after property to ensure that a Fire Risk Assessment is completed and revised on a regular basis. It’s also vitally important to ensure any non-conformities with fire safety legislation identified in the fire risk assessment are rectified.
Ansul Suppression Systems
With commercial kitchens being at high risk of starting a fire, an Ansul Suppression System will provide an immediate response to the start of any fire where it is installed.
Dry & Wet Risers
Both Dry & Wet Risers provide important access for the Fire Services to get water to the source of a fire in a high rise property. The height of a building will determine whether a dry or wet riser is required. Regular maintenance is also a legal requirement.
