What is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005?
The Government is committed to regulating only where necessary
and in a way that is more suited to the needs of modern business.
That is why the order was made, under the Regulatory Reform
Act 2001. It replaces most fire safety legislation with one simple
order. It means that any person who has some level of control
in premises must take reasonable steps to reduce the risk from
fire and make sure people can safely escape if there is a fire.
