Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

Ensuring you are well organised

Safety Management (UK) offers an in-depth fire safety guidance service to ensure your business complies with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Whatever your needs, you can be sure we have a solution to match.

Guidance

As you may be aware some new fire safety legislation was recently introduced.. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 has brought about some changes for business, and has reinforced some old ideas, such as fire risk assessment.

A key result of this new legislation is that there is now a requirement for you to manage your own day-to-day fire safety arrangements. We have the expertise to ensure that you comply with current legislation.

Responsible Person:

This is the person that has control of the business or workplace.

The responsible person is now a named individual that will be held responsible for any breaches of the new legislation. If you are wondering who this may be, the person that signs the Health & Safety Policy may be an obvious choice.

This does not mean that this person has to have fire safety knowledge, they can nominate another competent person to carry out these duties. However, the law is now designed to ensure that it is still the responsible person that will be held accountable.

Competent Person:

This role is filled ideally by someone within your organisation. However, should you not have anyone suitable you can outsource this facility.

You will however already have a number of competent persons assisting your organisation, for example the companies that services your fire extinguishers (annually), fire alarm, and emergency lighting. You must ensure they complete your Fire Safety Log Book after each visit.
