I am looking for some advice please. I am the Secretary of an 80 strong local choir. We hire a community hall for our rehearsals. Do we legally have to have a register to know who is on the premises to comply with any fire regulations? Your advice would be much appreciated.

The person or persons designated the Responsible Person of the premises is responsible for any employees and other persons lawfully on the premises known as relevant persons. The RP is required provide instructions and training for the safety of these people in the event of a fire, which should include a fire procedure showing the actions to be taken in the event of a fire. It may include the need for a register and a roll call but you need to speak to the RP to find out the finding of the fire risk assessment.
All my responses only apply to England and Wales and they are an overview of the subject, hopefully it will point you in the right direction and always treat with caution. Scotland and Northern Ireland has differing legislation
