This Order came into force on 1 October 2006. It replaces over a hundred pieces of fire safety legislation including the Fire Precautions Act and the Workplace (Fire Safety) Regulations. Fire Certificates will no longer be issued or enforced. It places a duty on the ‘responsible person’ to ensure, ‘as far as is reasonably practical’ the safety of his employees and to take such general fire precautions as may be reasonably required to ensure that the premises are safe [i.e. for non-employees].
