Fire Safety (Employees’ Capabilities) (England) Regulations 2010
For any readers from England. As far as I know, there are no plans to introduce this in Scotland.
Warning to complywith Fire safety Legislation.
Last year London companies paid over £1m in fines and costs for breaches of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 – further evidence to suggest that courts are taking issues of fire safety seriously. Fines have been imposed on both small businesses and individual landlords in the region, as well as international companies – such as Shell International (fined £300,000 for fire safety breaches) and high street retailer New Look which parted with over £500,000 in fines and costs – the largest fine to-date under the RRO after a serious fire at their Oxford Street premises in April 2007.
Although this relates to London, Scottish businesses should not be complacent as many breaches in Fire Safety requirements are being discovered daily.
