Current legislation, "The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005" demands:

• The employer must produce a Fire Risk Assessment
• The employer must produce an emergency plan 
• The employer must use a "competent person" to assess fire risk
• Re-assessment is required with significant changes to the workplace, working practice or staff
• Employers will have a responsibility for people in the vicinity of buildings not just for employees
• Where ever public has access, fire risks must be assessed and controls implemented

The Fire Safety Legislation and related legislation is complex, with no margin for error with compliance.
