Fire Safety Law and Guidance Documents for Business
On 5 January 2016 responsibility for fire and rescue policy transferred from the Department for Communities and Local Government to the Home Office.
This collection of Guidance brings together all documents relating to fire safety law and guidance documents for businesses.
These guides:
- tell businesses what they need to do to comply with fire safety law
- help businesses carry out a fire risk assessment
- help businesses identify the general fire precautions they need to have in place
Fire safety law changed in October 2006 with the introduction of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
The documents include:
Fire safety: guidance for the hospitality industry
Fire safety risk assessment: transport premises and facilities
Fire safety risk assessment: factories and warehouses
