Workplace fire safety
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 ('RRO') requires the person having control of the premises (the Responsible Person) to implement general fire precautions for the safety of employees or persons who are legally on the premises or in the immediate vicinity of the premises who are at risk from a fire on the premises (Relevant Persons).
In order to decide what the general fire precautions should be, the Responsible Person is required to carry out a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks from fire to which Relevant Persons are exposed, including those posed by the use or storage of dangerous substances.
The Gov.uk website contains more information on fire safety in the workplace.
For more information see the Warwickshire Fire & Rescue Service website or you can download an information leaflet (358kb, PDF).
