Copy of email to FIA re lack of Scottish & NI Legislation.

Hello Martin,
Could you please pass on the following comments to the FIA website administrator:

When commenting about Fire Safety Legislation, please include the Legislation which is pertinent to other parts of the UK. Only the RR(F)O is quoted (England & Wales). I have been re-tweeting and getting lots of comments back from irate people. The Legislation for Scottish Fire Safety is “The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005: Part 3.

Also, links supplied should take cognisance of this.

Martin here is a good example. First line talks about the UK but Bullet Points 1 and 4 are for England & Wales only. Links should be available to http://www.firelawscotland.org/ where persons can gain access to information and Guidance Documents relating to their place of domicile

Fire safety is very important in every premises across the UK, whether it's a warehouse, office, hotel, arena or block of flats. But it can be confusing if you are the person with the responsibility for fire safety in your workplace.
The FIA is here to help provide guidance and insight into the best practice in fire safety as well as the reassurance that, by using one of our members, you are employing a competent person.
On our website you will find everything you need to help you in your role as the Responsible Person (also known as Duty Holder in Scotland or Northern Ireand), including:
• Information about what the Fire Safety Order is
• Comprehensive list of our member companies around the UK
• Latest news and information relating to fire safety in the UK
• Regulatory reform guides for all the different types of business premises
