By law, most commercial and industrial premises and Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs) require a fire detection system.

You are unlikely to need a fire alarm system if all of the following statements are true:

• Your premises are small, simple, and single-storey or open-plan
• You don’t store any high-risk substances, such as chemicals
• You don’t undertake any high-risk activities, such as cooking
• You don’t have any vulnerable occupants, such as the very young, elderly or disabled
• A fire would be easily spotted if it broke out anywhere in the premises
• A shout of ‘fire!’ would be easily heard by all occupants

If one or more of these statements does NOT apply to your business, then you probably need a fire alarm
system.

If you are in any doubt, then your Fire Risk Assessment should specifically state whether you should or shouldn’t install automatic fire detection.
