CMT Fire Risk Assessment - it’s already a legal requirement!

The biggest single reform of fire safety legislation in over 30 years, has now been agreed by Parliament.

The new law, which comes into force soon, consolidates existing fire legislation, and repeals the Fire Precautions Act 1971. At present fire safety laws are scattered across more than 70 pieces of legislation!

The Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order improves fire safety by placing the responsibility for fire safety on the employer or ‘responsible person’ for that building or premises. He or she will be required to assess the risks of fire and take steps to reduce or remove them.

You can ensure that you are ahead of the game by having a Fire Risk Assessment of your premises and activities carried out by experts you can trust.
