Fire safety is an important issue for employers, across all sectors of business and industry. The losses to business by fire are great – in 2004 the cost of fire to the economy was estimated at £7.03bn – and, due to the new regulations set out in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO), there are now new duties upon employers to ensure the safety of their employees from the risk of fire.
When the RRO came into effect, it replaced over 100 pieces of legislation, and aimed to put greater emphasis on fire prevention in all non-domestic premises, giving overall responsibility to the ‘Responsible Person’ – generally the employer and/or owner of the premises – for the safety of the building’s inhabitants.
The Fire Safety Policy has been published to help employers in England and Wales ensure that they comply with their requirements under law.
The draft policy covers:
- The Responsible Person
- Fire Risk Assessment
- Recording the fire risk assessment
- Review of the fire risk assessment
- Training
- Notifying employees
- Notifying non-employees
- Notifying other employers
- Young persons at work
- Dangerous substances
- The principles of prevention
- Cooperation and coordination
- Consultation with employees
- Contact with the emergency services (Fire)
- Duties and responsibilities
The draft policy also comes with a Management Guide containing helpful notes on the policy and sources of further information.
