Fire Risk Assessment Duties in Leicestershire
Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service is responsible for enforcing the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
The Service states that the Order applies to non-domestic premises, including common areas of residential buildings. Responsibility for fire safety rests with the Responsible Person, typically an employer, owner or occupier with control of the premises.
The Responsible Person is required to carry out a fire risk assessment, implement appropriate fire safety measures and maintain those measures. Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service carries out fire safety audits through a risk-based inspection programme.
For premises where residential evacuation arrangements are relevant, the Fire Safety (Residential Evacuation Plans) (England) Regulations 2025 introduce additional duties for specified residential buildings. Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service published related guidance in April 2026.
Premises and Risks Across Leicestershire
The scope of a fire risk assessment depends on the actual premises, its use, occupancy, layout and existing fire precautions.
Leicester Businesses
Offices, shops, hospitality premises and other commercial buildings in Leicester can have different occupancy patterns, escape arrangements and fire hazards. The assessment should reflect the building as it is actually used.
Market Towns and Rural Premises
Premises in towns and rural communities may include mixed-use buildings, farms, workshops, retail units and smaller businesses. Storage, access, layout and activities should be considered where relevant.
HMOs and Residential Buildings
HMOs, flats and other multi-occupied residential buildings can require attention to communal areas, escape routes, fire detection, warning systems and management arrangements.

View LeicesterRecording and Reviewing Fire Safety Arrangements
Leicestershire County Fire and Rescue Service advises Responsible Persons to record fire risk assessments and fire safety arrangements and to keep them under review.
A fire safety log book can provide evidence of premises maintenance and staff training. Leicestershire County Fire and Rescue Service says its officers may ask to see evidence of maintenance and training when auditing compliance.
Where premises, activities, occupancy or fire safety arrangements change, the assessment should be reviewed so that it continues to reflect the actual premises and risks.
For multi-occupied premises, cooperation and coordination between Responsible Persons can be particularly important where different organisations or owners have responsibility for parts of the same building.
