VISION subscription service
Fact: From 1 October 2006 new legislation places responsibility for fire safety onto the Responsible Person
Fact: The Responsible Person must have access to competent fire safety advice and must ensure that a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out.
Fact: Anyone carrying out fire risk assessments must be competent to do so.
Will you be covered?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRO) requires the Responsible Person to manage fire safety, to have access to competent fire safety advice and to ensure that a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is carried out. Most health and safety managers are not fire experts and will need to look outside their organisation for that extra support.
VISION - from PLM - is a subscription service giving professional fire safety advice to Responsible Persons and Fire Risk Assessors. It is designed to help you comply with the new legislation, giving you cost-effective access to PLM's fire experts, and permission to name us as your source of competent fire safety advice.
