Overview
Proper management of fire safety begins with a documented fire safety policy produced, or endorsed, by senior management.
This section explains why a fire safety policy is essential and how it can help you to comply with your legal duty to protect everyone on your premises from fire.
It covers:
- what a fire safety policy is;
- what you should include in it;
- what a competent person is and how they help you comply with your fire safety duties; and
- your legal responsibility to inform and train employees on fire safety.
For more information about your duties under fire safety legislation see the Home Office Guide
