Think you’re too small to worry? If you employ anyone, have volunteers, or the public visits, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO 2005) applies to you. Under Article 9, the 'responsible person' must make a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. It’s not optional paperwork; it’s your primary legal duty to protect people from harm. Ignoring this isn’t just risky—it’s an offence. PAS 79 provides a solid structure for conducting these reviews, but the responsibility sits squarely with you. Don’t guess your safety level. General guidance, not formal legal advice — book a HawkSwift assessment for your premises.
