<p>The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers general fire safety in England
and Wales. In Scotland this is Part 3 of the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, supported by
the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulation 2006. In the majority of premises, including
schools, colleges, universities and care homes, local fire and rescue authorities
are responsible for enforcing this fire safety legislation.</p><p>General fire safety
in the workplace, and fire safety standards, are not the responsibility of the Health
and Safety Executive (HSE) and therefore HSE cannot undertake an investigation into
whether notice boards meet fire safety standards. The Home Office is responsible for
fire and rescue policy. <br></p>
