Fire safety advice and guidance
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 condenses legislation into one fire safety standard used in workplaces and buildings containing two or more domestic premises in England and Wales.
Neglecting to meet this regulation carries serious risk. Supported by practitioners in fire safety compliance, we assist businesses with inspection, prosecution, alterations to prohibition notices, and more.
