Fire Safety Responsibilities – What Landlords and Businesses Get Wrong

The problem: confusion around legal responsibilities.

Fire safety legislation places clear duties on landlords, employers, and those in control of premises. However, responsibility is often misunderstood or incorrectly assumed to sit with someone else.

Common mistakes include:

• Landlords assuming tenants are fully responsible
• Businesses believing compliance ends after installation
• Lack of staff training or fire safety awareness
• No clear fire evacuation or emergency procedures

This confusion can lead to gaps in protection and serious liability if an incident occurs. Enforcement authorities will always look to the responsible person, regardless of assumptions made.
