The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which came into effect on October 1st 2006, was the most significant change to fire safety law in over 30 years.
The new legislation means that you are now expected to take general fire precautions to safeguard staff and other visitors to your premises from fire.
To help you achieve this, the Government has produced a series of 12 fire safety guides considered necessary to deal with premises such as hotels, care homes, factories, offices and shops etc. From the above date you should have been complying fully with the new law, so if you haven't already carried out a fire safety audit, including a fire risk assessment you really need to give it serious consideration.
If you do not feel competent to carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment and audit Fire Eclipse can do this on your behalf and provide a report guaranteed to meet the requirements of the enforcing authority. You might also be pleasantly surprised to find how little this can cost.
