The law behind it

What UK law requires

General information about the duties that apply, not advice on your specific business. An initial consultation establishes which of these actually bite for you.

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, article 9

The responsible person must carry out a fire risk assessment. Since 1 October 2023 it must be recorded in full, whatever the size of the business.

Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, regulation 4

Whoever is responsible for maintaining non-domestic premises has a duty to manage asbestos, which means finding out whether it is present, recording it and managing the risk.

Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, section 2(2)(c)

Employers must provide the information, instruction, training and supervision needed to keep employees safe.

Environmental Protection Act 1990, section 34

The waste duty of care requires you to store, transfer and describe waste correctly, and to keep the paperwork that proves it.

Common questions

Questions we get asked about this

Who is the responsible person for fire safety?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 the responsible person is the employer for a workplace, or otherwise the person in control of the premises, such as an owner, landlord or occupier. In many buildings more than one responsible person exists, and they are required to cooperate with each other.

Does my fire risk assessment have to be written down?

Yes. Since 1 October 2023, amendments made by the Building Safety Act 2022 require every responsible person to record their fire risk assessment in full. Before that date only businesses with five or more employees had to record the significant findings, so many older assessments no longer meet the standard.

Which buildings need an asbestos survey?

The duty to manage under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 applies to non-domestic premises, including the common parts of flats. Buildings constructed or refurbished before the year 2000 may contain asbestos, so unless you have evidence it is absent you need a survey, or you must presume asbestos is present.

What health surveillance does my business need?

It depends on exposure. COSHH, the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 and the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 each trigger health surveillance at defined exposure levels, covering matters such as respiratory sensitisers, hearing and hand-arm vibration. SiteSafe Solution coordinates provision with specialist occupational health providers.
