We can help you ensure that your premises and staff are well protected and that your company fulfils its responsibilities by complying with the latest fire safety regulations.

The new Safety Fire Legislation is called the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and this statutory instrument has the effect of sweeping away all previous legislation governing the work place, places of business, places to which the public have access and Multi Occupied Dwellings (HMO's), and bring it all under this one instrument of parliament.

Points to note

Fire certificates no longer have any legal standing as they were abolished by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. You may wish, however, to use your fire certificate as the basis of your Fire Risk Assessment.

Fire certificates were issued to premises, as listed below:

• A hotel or boarding house which provided sleeping accommodation for more than six people (guests or staff), or if any part of the accommodation was elsewhere than the ground floor
• A factory, office, shop or railway premises where more than 20 people worked at any one time, or more than 10 people worked anywhere other than the ground floor
• A factory where explosive or highly flammable materials were used or stored

The ‘Responsible Person', normally the person in charge of the premises must; Make a written ‘risk assessment' , and keep it up to date. From this he must make the decisions about Fire Safety for all persons in or on the premises in question.

This new piece of legislation make breaches a ‘criminal offence', and is no longer a ‘civil matter', your are now personally liable and your freedom can be risk. Whilst the compliance with the new Fire Safety Order is enforceable via criminal prosecution, it should be remembered that its primary purpose is to save life and prevent injury to people in the event of Fire.

An essential part of your Fire Protection Strategy, and just as your ‘Risk Assessment', Fire Alarm maintenance Contracts need to be in written form and updated regularly (at least annually) then your Automatic Fire Detection System, Emergency Lights and Fire Extinguishers need to be checked periodically by a ‘competent' person to ensure that its integrity is safeguarded and it is able to sound an alarm if called upon.

This process is not just liaising with your Fire Alarm Company you should also remember that you also need to:

• Test the system regularly
• Have a written evacuation plan, communicate it to your employees and practice it.
• Have trained ‘Fire Wardens' to help others where necessary.
• Report any faults to your ‘fire emergency systems' immediately and log the fact.
