A Practical Guide to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

£23.70

Fire safety has been at the forefront of the public consciousness since the tragedy at Grenfell Tower in 2017. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is the main piece of legislation dealing with fire safety in premises other than dwellings in England and Wales. It imposes numerous duties on employers, landlords, occupiers which are complex and often confusing.

This book provides a simple overview and explanation of the Order and the legal duties imposed by it for non-lawyers and lawyers alike. It explains who is responsible for complying with those duties and to what extent, how those duties are enforced through investigation, formal notices and prosecution and the potential consequences of breach.

    This is the most up to date legal text on this topic in a short introductory style at reasonable cost. It is therefore on my reading list as a recommended text for my students.

    I have three texts from this series on my reading list and feedback from been positive. Easy reading style and a perfect introduction to topic from legal perspective. This is is not and does not claim to be a technical guide so is only addressing pure legal points. Whilst great as an undergraduate first introduction text this series lacks the depth plus complexity for more advanced studies. Practitioners looking for a detailed exploration of subject will be disappointed and should avoid.

    My only real grumble about this text series is the lack of case law and legislation cross referencing. This is commonly found at the front section of a legal text. This feature in this level text is useful when looking up issues and tracking case law implications.
