The UK Government’s fire regulations were put through a massive reform back in the early 2000s when attention was drawn to the outdated nature of policies that were in place. More efficient fire safety procedures were needed, particularly for public places where large numbers of people may be congregated at once. In such situations, the potential for crowding and panic increases health and safety risks, and warrants specialist fire safety measures to minimise danger.

Ensuring health and safety when working on a roof As public conscience focuses more and more on health and safety, there is an increased emphasis on keeping people safe at work. Construction is considered one of the most dangerous industries to work in, with significant and consistent injury and death rates year on year. This has led to regular reformation of health and safety regulations, and a specific combination of different legislations applicable to construction work.

How to comply with the building regulation requirements of different buildings The requirements of the UK Government’s Building Regulation are complex and outline protocol for almost every construction-related situation imaginable, and in an industry so firmly entwined with health and safety regulation, it is imperative that all construction jobs are carried out in compliance with regulation.
