On the 1st October 2006 the government introduced The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO). This has simplified and consolidated the existing fire safety legislation. Fire certificates have now been replaced by fire risk assessments, which are the responsibility of individual companies and not The Fire Authority. The new legislation is being policed and enforced by the local fire authorities, who carry out planned prioritised routine inspections.
Is your Fire Risk Assessment up to date?
