Legislation, advice and guidance

Fire enforcement

If you are an employer you are responsible for complying with fire regulations, which will include carrying out a fire risk assessment and producing an emergency plan for your workplace.

As well as complying with the fire regulations, some premises will also require a fire certificate.

The London Fire & Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) enforces fire safety legislation, and provides fire safety information including how to carry out a fire risk assessment. For further information telephone the LFEPA (Ealing and Harrow team) on (020) 7587 2720.
