Under this legislation the Responsible Person must carry out a Fire-Risk Assessment and take general fire safety precautions to ensure the safety of building occupants and others who may be affected by the risk of a fire.
Anyone who has control of premises or a degree of control over certain areas or systems may be a Responsible Person. The Responsible Person can pass the task onto some other competent person, but he/she will still be responsible in law for meeting the order.
