Fire Safety – the Regulatory Reform Order

Fire safety from SGS – minimise the risk of fire while complying with legislation.

Since 1 October 2006, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, also known as the RRO, has required all non-domestic premises employing five or more people to have a written fire risk assessment, carried about by a responsible person. We can carry out a fire risk assessment for you, identifying any fire hazards and the actions needed to eliminate, reduce or control their risk.
