If you own, manage or operate a business, you need to comply with fire safety law. The main law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (as amended) or "the Fire Safety Order". It applies across England and Wales and came into force on 1 October 2006.
From the 1 October 2023, Section 156 of the Building Safety Act 2022 makes changes to The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 that will affect all Responsible Persons.
These changes improve the fire safety in non-domestic premises and any premises that contain two or more domestic dwellings (referred to as multi-occupied residential buildings).
