The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 , implemented from 1st October 2006, builds upon existing legislation and shifts the emphasis toward prevention through fire risk assessment.

As an employer, or as someone who has control of a workplace you must take steps to ensure that you have what is known as a 'suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment' in place.

Fire risk assessment is the process that is used to help identify all the potential fire hazards and risks within a given premises and those using it. Areas identified causing a high potential risk of fire can be afforded greater attention and suitable precautions can be adopted.

It is important to note that it is a vital part of the Fire Safety Order that fire risk assessments must be reviewed regularly by the responsible person so as to keep it up to date.
