The new legislation effective from 1st October 2006 requires employers and others responsible for buildings to comply with the new Fire Safety Law! Previously it was the responsibility of the Fire Authority to ensure compliance with fire safety law and this was managed via local fire brigades.

New reforms will see a much greater need for employers to comply with fire protection law. The new law means that employers will need to produce fire risk assessments and introduce action plans to minimise the risk from fire and the consequences should one arise.

So the new law will

• Emphasise preventing fires and reducing risk
• Make it your responsibility to ensure the safety of everyone who uses your premises and in the immediate vicinity
• Do away with the need for fire certificates

The importance of your responsibilities should not be under estimated.
