This project is designed to provide the best arson/fire/crime prevention advice to small / medium sized businesses, combining Fire Service and Police information in an easy to read format. The latest version of Keep Your Business In Business contains a guide to businesses to carry out their mandatory 'fire risk self assessment' in order to comply with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 which was introduced in October 2006 and will be further revised subject to any changes in legislation.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 will not only apply to businesses i.e. workplaces, but it will also apply to any premises which includes any place and in particular any workplace, any vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft, any installation on land or sea and any tent or movable structure.
Therefore, if you are running an event - maybe a pop concert or a wedding reception - then the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 may apply and if it does you will be required to carry out your fire risk assessment.
This is where Keep Your Business In Business can help, as although initially designed with businesses in mind it can be used by other organisations to satisfy the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
