The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, 2005 is the basic fire safety legislation in England and Wales. The Order emphasizes on fire prevention in all non-domestic premises and applies to all workplaces. It places responsibility on those who are best placed to address fire safety and ensure that risks which necessarily change over time are kept under review.  Under the Order, a 'responsible person' (usually the owner, landlord, employer, or occupier of a business or industrial premises) must carry out a fire risk assessment.  

Under the Order, the responsible person must carry out a Fire Safety Risk Assessment Form. A Fire Safety Risk Assessment helps to ensure that your fire safety procedures, fire prevention measures, and fire precautions (plans, systems and equipment) are all in place and working properly; it also helps you to identify any issues that need attention.

We have drafted this Policy to cover all the regulations and legislation relating to fire safety. This Policy is comprehensive and up to date.
