The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 together with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and other associated fire safety legislation, impose duties on all employers in respect of fire safety at work. These duties extend to the Herts and West Essex (HWE) Integrated Care Board (ICB), its staff and visitors. As the employer, the HWE ICB has formulated a Fire Safety Policy to include these duties.

This policy outlines the duties of the ICB in respect of health and safety, but also the legal obligations that these acts place upon every member of staff.
