Legal Requirements
The latest Fire Safety Legislation, the
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, came into force in
April 2006. It will be enforced by the Local Authority Fire
Service and it will be an offence if you do not comply to this new
Fire Safety Legislation. It has replaced all previous Fire
Legislation. It requires that all places of work and premises,
where the public have access to, have a Fire Risk Assessment in
place. A responsible person must have control and ensure that the
new Fire Safety Regulations are implemented and complied with in
full.
Where does it apply?
The law applies to virtually all premises and covers nearly every type of building, structure and open space.
For example, it applies to:
-
Offices and shops - Factories and Warehouses.
-
Residential care premises including nursing homes, some sheltered housing premises.
-
Places of assembly that include Pubs, Clubs, Restaurants, Cafes, Community Centres, Nightclubs, Places of Worship, shopping Centres, Theatres and Cinemas.
