New fire safety regulations were recently passed that affect all workplaces in England and Wales. While many workplaces have the basic precautions in place, there are many that don’t.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as it is known (or RRO), is designed to turn almost all the earlier pieces of UK fire safety legislation into one all-inclusive law.
Important parts of the Order that concern all those who run a business or institution situated in a building, based on key words used and their meanings:
- Responsible Person: the person who owns or controls the business or premises
- Competent Person: this could be an employee or an outside contractor appointed and trained to carry out fire fighting duties, contact the emergency services, and assist in evacuations
- Enforcement: failing to satisfy the applicable articles of the Order may result in a fine or up to two years imprisonment
Fire Risk Assessment: if the responsible person employs 5 or more people, or if the premises are licensed, or if the inspector wants it, this vital plank of the Order must be officially documented
