As the owner or operator you are likely to be the best person to know about the risks on your own premises and how they can be controlled. It also requires them to take fire safety measures which are reasonable to ensure the safety of persons.Ħ. Fire safety law requires any person who has control of the premises to carry out an assessment to identify risks to the safety of persons in respect of harm caused by fire in the premises. If in doubt you should contact your Local Authority building standards department for further advice. Additionally, building regulations apply to the construction of new premises or conversions, alterations or extensions to existing premises intended to be used for bed and breakfast or self- catering. This guidance applies only to fire safety law. Anyone who has control to any extent of the premises will have some responsibilities for ensuring that those occupying the premises are safe from harm caused by fire.Ĥ. In general, Part 3 of the 2005 Act and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 seek to ensure the safety of persons (whether residents, visitors, employees or others), in the event of a fire, by setting out the responsibilities of persons for fire safety. It is designed to help proprietors understand steps that they should be taking to meet their legal obligations.ģ.
