As i understand, the landlord is responsible for his own premises fire risk assesment? So this would mean he would have to try to control the activities on those premises. Can any body tell me if i'm correct. Oh and have a good weekend all. Stay out of the cold.

The landlord is generally responsible for the common areas and systems within the building. So plant rooms, corridors, stairwells, service risers, sprinklers, afd, dry rising mains etc are normally landlords responsibility. The landlord is also responsible for co-ordinating the fire safety arrangements including ensuring tenants have completed adequate fire risk assessments and are not placing at risk other occupants in the building. He is also responsible for co-ordinating the emergency plans and testing them i.e. fire drills.

Tenants are responsible for undertaking fire risk assessments of their workplace, including emergency lighting on their side of the switchboard (normally overlooked by tenants). They must also include common means of escape routes that they are likely to use. This means escape routes will be assessed several times depending on how many tenants there are in the building.

Each occupier, including landlord, has a duty to share information where they may be palcing other occupiers ate risk.
