What the Law Requires for a Fire Safety Risk Assessment
If you let out your property, even just occasionally. You are classified as the “responsible person” for fire safety. This means you are legally required to:
- Conduct a written fire risk assessment of the premises.
- Identify fire hazards and put in place reasonable preventative measures.
- Ensure the property is fitted with working smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and emergency lighting where applicable.
- Provide clear and accessible fire escape routes for guests.
- Keep fire safety equipment maintained and tested on a regular basis.
Failure to comply with these fire safety measures could result in fines, insurance invalidation, or enforcement action by local authorities.
