Fire enforcement guidance and advice

OC217/05 gives guidance to inspectors on enforcement of Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RR(FS)O) and Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 (F(S)A) in premises where HSE has enforcement responsibilities - nuclear, shipbuilding and construction, but see more detail below. It should be read in conjunction with OC 217/6, which gives guidance on the interface between HSE/LA inspectors and the fire and rescue authorities.
