Each year, fire authorities in the UK attend over 35,000 fires at work in which more than 30 people are killed and about 2,000 are injured. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 was introduced in October 2006 to simplify, rationalise and consolidate existing fire safety legislation. This new legislation requires the responsible person/s (such as the employer) to carry out a fire risk assessment for each of their premises and to employ competent people to manage fire risk. For low risk premises, many companies will be able to train an individual to take on the role of competent person from within their own organisation.
