Fire safety has been at the forefront of the public consciousness since the tragedy at Grenfell Tower in 2017. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is the main piece of legislation dealing with fire safety in premises other than dwellings in England and Wales. It imposes numerous duties on employers, landlords, occupiers which are complex and often confusing. This book provides a simple overview and explanation of the Order and the legal duties imposed by it for non-lawyers and lawyers alike. It explains who is responsible for complying with those duties and to what extent, how those duties are enforced through investigation, formal notices and prosecution and the potential consequences of breach.
