Facilities and Building Management Companies:
Facilities and Building Management Companies, often the “Responsible Person” under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO), have a legal duty to ensure fire safety in managed buildings.
Key Legal Responsibilities:
- Fire Risk Assessment: Conducting and regularly reviewing assessments
- General Fire Precautions: Implementing and maintaining escape routes, fire detection, firefighting equipment, and emergency plans
- Maintenance: Ensuring all fire safety systems are regularly inspected and maintained
- Information to Occupiers: Providing fire safety information to building users
- Cooperation: Working with Fire and Rescue Authorities
The Fire Safety Act 2021 extends the FSO to cover building structure, external walls, and flat entrance doors. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 impose extra duties for higher-rise buildings, including information sharing, regular fire door checks, and specific safety provisions.
Specific Fire Door Responsibilities:
- Ensuring correct specification and installation of new/replacement fire doors
- Regular inspection and maintenance of all fire doors (including self-closers and seals)
- Compliance with mandatory fire door checks in relevant buildings
Compliance and Enforcement:
- Must maintain ongoing compliance with fire safety laws
- Non-compliance can lead to legal action, fines, and safety risks
In essence, these companies are legally responsible for the proactive management and maintenance of fire safety measures, including fire doors, to protect building occupants and comply with UK fire safety legislation.
Health and Care Facilities:
Health and care facilities in the UK hold an exceptionally high level of responsibility for fire safety, given the vulnerability of their patients and residents.

Ensuring the fire safety of guests, staff, and the public is a critical duty for UK hospitality and leisure facilities. This necessitates a comprehensive approach, beginning with legally mandated fire risk assessments that consider the unique aspects of each premises, such as occupancy, kitchen operations, and entertainment. They must then implement robust fire safety measures, including advanced detection systems, clearly marked escape routes, and compliant fire door maintenance. Development of detailed emergency plans, thorough staff training, and consistent fire drills are also vital. Accurate record-keeping is essential, all aimed at prioritising the safety of everyone on site.
