Fire risk assessment
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, 2005, it is now compulsory for companies to undertake a Fire Risk Assessment.
The regulations came into force on the 1st October 2006 and this new approach to fire safety law has been introduced to simplify regulations and make it more straightforward for people to understand what they should do.
