Understanding the RRO
Understanding the regulatory reform (fire safety) order 2005 & its implication for fire doors
There have been 560 prosecutions in England and Wales under the RRO (2006 – 2018), ranging from large well-known companies such as New Look who were fined £536,000, to small family run businesses who have also been targeted. The RRO shifts the blame to the ‘responsible person’ of that building; meaning anyone can be prosecuted under the act for lack of fire safety.
The CPD Covers:
- Quick introduction to the RRO and who is responsible for a building’s fire safety
- Examples of companies who have been prosecuted under the RRO
- The danger of fire and smoke
- The importance of fire doors, including installation and maintenance
- Examples of poorly maintained and fitted fire doors with cost-effective solutions
