<p>The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to all non-domestic premises,
including those which feature experiential escape rooms. Under the Fire Safety Order,
the person responsible for the premises must undertake and review regularly a fire
risk assessment of the premises and put in place and maintain adequate and appropriate
fire precaution measures to mitigate against the risk to life from fire. This includes
ensuring adequate escape routes.</p><p>The Government has made available a suite of
premises-specific guidance to support responsible persons in complying with the provisions
of the Fire Safety Order. These are available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/workplace-fire-safety-your-responsibilities/fire-risk-assessments"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/workplace-fire-safety-your-responsibilities/fire-risk-assessments</a>.</p><p>As
the enforcing authority for the Fire Safety Order in their area, each local fire and
rescue authority is required by the Fire and Rescue National Framework to have in
place a risk-based inspection programme for auditing compliance. Where a potential
new risk emerges, it is for individual authorities to determine how best to use their
resources to reduce the risks facing the communities.</p>
