Old legislation being quoted on FRA's
« on: December 18, 2017, 10:38:56 AM »
Just been sent a client's tenant's FRA to look at. The assessor has quoted The Fire Precautions (Workplace)
Regulations 1997 as being the current legislation! Feeling very frustrated....
Each and every day is a learning curve and today is one of those days?

I've seen some still quoting the Fire Precautions Act 1971!

Although at least these are all real statutes - I've also seen some quoting strange hybrids of various words and years as if the author heard in passing at what the legislation was a few years back and is guessing from memory!

I seen a FRA in NI full of references to English legislation.
We're not Brazil we're Northern Ireland.
