RRO Fire Breaches at the CLG

The condemnation of the CLG at Eland House for failures relating to the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005 (RRO) is both timely and pertinent in that it highlights another failure of the previous administration i.e. it introduced major legislation in the form of the RRO without the necessary fanfare and education it deserved. When even the CLG, the department responsible for implementation of the RRO doesn't understand its own responsibilities (and clearly doesn't understand what a fire risk assessment is and how to do one) what chance has the rest of UKPLC got - the majority of which is not free from prosecution. Compare this non-campaign for the RRO to the yearly Asbestos Awareness campaign and even the presently running campaign to remind people to renew their tax credits. Ignorance may be bliss but as we know Fire costs lives.
