Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is a UK law aimed at improving fire safety in non-domestic buildings. It requires owners and managers to assess fire risks and implement measures to protect the safety of people within the premises. This includes ensuring safe escape routes, maintaining fire alarms and equipment, and providing staff training. The goal is to minimize the risk of fire and ensure that if a fire does occur, appropriate safety measures are in place to protect everyone. Compliance is enforced by local fire authorities, and failure to adhere can lead to penalties.
