23 About Fire Safety Law in the UK RRO (FSO) Regulatory Reform Order; Fire Safety Order 2005 The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 (Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006) Summary>Building owner to have full fire risk assessment The enforcers can visit premises without notice and ask to see a fire risk assessment and enforce necessary works, fines and prosecution, if they feel there is a breach any areas of fire safety. CPD Seminar Feb 2011 DH 23
24 What type of buildings does the RRO & F(Scot.)A affect? Breaching fire separation (Appendix B) To ensure effective protection against fire, walls and floors providing fire separation must form a complete barrier, with an equivalent level of fire resistance provided to any openings Educational Premises Offices & Shops Healthcare Premises such as doors, ventilation ducts, pipe passages or refuse chutes. The passing of services such as heating pipes or electrical cables through fire-resisting partitions leaves gaps through which fire and smoke may spread. This should be rectified Residential Care by suitable fire stopping and there are many Transport Facilities Premises proprietary products available to suit particular types of construction. Such products should be installed by competent contractors. Factories & Warehouses Theatres & Cinemas Large Places of Assembly Apartments & Hotels CPD Seminar Feb 2011 DH 24
