FIRE PRACTICE

摘要

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order is one of the biggest shake-ups of fire safety in buildings for decades. Its heaviest impact will be felt by building owners and occupiers who now face the heavy responsibility of managing regular risk assessments to ensure their property complies with the law. The RRO will also affect the work of fire safety engineers within building services consultancies. While design criteria for fire and security aren't directly affected by the RRO, consideration will have to be given to how risk assessments will be carried out in a particular building - and who will be doing the work.
