Fire safety regulations: do you know your roles and responsibilities?
From 1 October last year, changes to the Fire Safety Order 2005 tweaked the role of the Responsible Person (RP) for workplaces. All workplaces need an up-to-date fire risk assessment, and your RP needs to be clear on their updated responsibilities.
And that’s not all. Fire safety, even without law changes, can be confusing enough for any business owner, especially in the context of care businesses where the vulnerability of clients adds complexity to compliance. Understanding fire safety regulations, implementing evacuation procedures, and conducting risk assessments can be overwhelming, but don’t worry! Our Partner Citation’s Health & Safety experts have whipped up a quick Fire Safety 101 guide so you can be sure you’re keeping your people, your clients and your business safe.
