Regulatory Reform Order Introduced - Transfer the Risk to Ventsafe UK
1st October 2006-9
After much delay, the Regulatory
Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRO) 2005 has come into force in England and Wales.
The RRO, which sponsors the Order does not apply in Scotland or N.Ireland,
but their
administrations have chosen similar legal devices to introduce the principles
of the order to ensure a common approach to fire safety across the UK.
With the removal of fire certification, the key to ensuring both public confidence in the proposed fire safety risk assessment system and the ongoing safety from fire of the public and business is the proper enforcement of the order, by the fire and rescue authorities. Fire and rescue authorities must ensure through their enforcement activities that the statutory fire and safety duties are being discharged properly by those upon whom they fall. Given that those duties now include the safety of fire fighters through the maintenance of any equipment and facilities provided for their use, there is a double incentive for the fire and rescue authorities to ensure enforcement is both thorough and targeted at high-risk premises.
Ventsafe's mission is to provide and maintain the highest standard in fire and smoke dampers, smoke ventilators, inspection, maintenance, repair and/or replacement assuring healthcare building compliance with the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organisations.
