Since the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 came into force, responsibility for fire risk assessment in all non-domestic buildings, including the common parts of flats and houses of multiple occupation, falls to the so-called 'responsible person'. Evidence suggests that there is still limited understanding of the meaning of the RRFSO and its implications.
To help remedy this, the BWF-CERTIFIRE Fire Door Scheme is collaborating with the Passive Fire Protection Federation to hold a series of seminars around the UK.
Breakfast Seminar - 25th May 2010 Chaired by Sir Ken Knight, the UK's Chief Fire and Rescue Adviser, this event will be held as a breakfast seminar at the Building Centre, Store Street, London on May 25 2010, starting at 8.15 am. The seminar is aimed at all those responsible for specifying fire protection measures or conducting fire risk assessments in buildings covered by the RRO, such as architects, specifiers, facility managers, local authority and housing association officers, registered landlords and hoteliers.
