The UK's Leading Recruitment Partner for Fire Safety, Fire Risk Assessors & Fire Engineers

At Heathgate Search, we are the UK’s trusted experts in fire safety recruitment. We connect organisations with the fire professionals they need to stay compliant, protected, and prepared, from strategic leaders to operational specialists.

Fire Safety Laws UK Businesses Must Follow

Every UK business is legally required to comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This includes:

  • Appointing a Responsible Person for fire safety

  • Completing and maintaining Fire Risk Assessments

  • Implementing appropriate fire precautions(e.g. alarms, extinguishers, signage)

  • Training all staff in fire awareness and evacuation procedures

  • Regularly testing and maintaining fire systems and equipment

Recent legislation like the Fire Safety Act 2021 and Building Safety Act 2022 adds new responsibilities for high-rise and multi-occupancy buildings.

Best Practice & Industry Standards

Beyond compliance, leading organisations follow British Standards and industry best practices, including:

  • Recruiting competent, certified fire safety professionals

  • Using PAS 79 for structured fire risk assessments

  • Adhering to BS 9997, BS 5839, and other fire protection standards

  • Conducting regular drills and refresher training

  • Engaging third-party certified contractors (BAFE, FIA, NSI)
