All fire safety legislation in England and Wales for non-domestic premises is covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO), which states that appropriate fire-fighting equipment, including portable fire extinguishers, must be provided where there is any risk of fire.
The RRO states that business owners and managers as designated Responsible Persons (RP), are responsible for carrying out a fire safety risk assessment and implementing and maintaining a fire management plan. You must keep a record of your fire risk assessment if your business has five or more employees.
