Fire Legislation – Is It an Unnecessary Burden

Abstract

Argues for the introduction of better fire standards as a response to the withdrawal of The Fire Precautions (Places of Work) Regulations 1992 which were due to come into effect in January of this year. Proposes that introducing better standards offers many benefits and would not be as expensive as the Government supposed. Concludes that in fact the benefits, such as improved fire safety, reduced insurance premiums etc., should outweigh the costs.
