General fire safety
As an employer (and/or building owner or occupier) you are required to carry out and maintain a fire safety risk assessment. This is under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales, and under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 as amended, and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The fire safety assessment can be carried out either as a separate exercise or as part of a single risk assessment covering other health and safety risks.
You need to make sure that, based on the findings of the assessment, you take adequate and appropriate fire safety measures to minimise the risk of injury or loss of life in the event of a fire.
As the responsible person you must:
Carry out (or employ a "competent person" to conduct on your behalf) a fire risk assessment of the premises and review it regularly
Tell staff or their representatives about the risks you’ve identified
Put in place, and maintain, appropriate fire safety measures
Plan for an emergency
Provide staff information, fire safety instruction and training

Are You The Responsible Person?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order defines the "Responsible Person" as:-
You're responsible for fire safety in business or other non-domestic premises if you're:
an employer
the owner
the landlord
an occupier
anyone else with control of the premises, eg a facilities manager, building manager, managing agent or risk assessor
You're known as the "responsible person". If there's more than one responsible person, you have to work together to meet your responsibilities.
The Fire Safety Order also applies if you have paying guests, eg if you run a bed and breakfast, guesthouse or let a self-catering property.
