A
guide has been produced by the HMSO
called 'Fire Safety and Employers Guide, the guide tells you, the
employer,
what you have to do to comply with the law relating to fire issues.
It also tells you how to carry out your fire risk assessment and
identify the safeguards which you should have in your workplace.
Although
written for employers, the guide will also be useful if you are
self-employed or are in control of workplaces to which people you
do not employ, and members of the public, have access. The information
will also provide a useful source of reference for:
- employees;
- employee-elected
representatives;
- trade
union-appointed health and safety representatives; and
- all
other people who have a role in ensuring fire safety in the workplace.
The
guide does not cover construction sites; ships and other means of
transport; mines; offshore installations; and any workplace in fields,
woods or agricultural land away from main buildings.
