LEGISLATION

Part 3 of The Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and The Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 came into effect on 15 November 2010.

As an appropriate person with control over non-domestic, industrial, commercial, leisure, educational or healthcare premises, this legislation requires that you take responsibility for ensuring your premises reach the required fire safety standard. This means it is your responsibility to have a fire risk assessment carried out on non domestic property, and carry out any upgrades deemed necessary to reach a satisfactory standard.
