From 1 October 2006 the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is Law.
The cornerstone of the regulations is fire risk assessment. through this the following need to be considered
* Preventing fire occurring
* Preventing fire spreading (design of premises as well as fire fighting)
* Ensuring people are adequately protected if a fire occurs - includes employees, visitors, neighbours and fire service personnel.
Emphasis is on the employer being responsible for managing risks from fire. To achieve this they need to have competence to assess and control the risks.
