What is a CAR? – Corrective Action Required
What you need to do after a site visit
The ‘Date for Completion’ timescale will be agreed between the site and
the auditor and will be reviewed after the agreed date.
At this point a Non-Compliance or Defect Report will be issued by the
auditor and signed as accepted by a nominated person in the site we are
surveying, whose duty it will then be to rectify the problem.
The Non-Compliance or Defect reports will then be signed off and
cancelled by the auditor, having satisfied himself that the correct course
of action has been taken and the matter resolved.

39. What is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005?
The Government is committed to regulating only where necessary and in a way that is more suited to the needs of modern business.
That is why the order was made, under the Regulatory Reform Act 2001. It replaces most fire safety legislation with one simple order. It means that
any person who has some level of control in premises must take reasonable steps to reduce the risk from fire and make sure people can safely
escape if there is a fire.
The HSE offer a short guide to making your premises safe from fire and about the new order
.
What are the main rules under the order?
You must:
• carry out a fire-risk assessment identifying any possible dangers and risks;
• consider who may be especially at risk;
• get rid of or reduce the risk from fire as far as is reasonably possible and provide general fire precautions to deal with any possible risk left;
• take other measures to make sure there is protection if flammable or explosive materials are used or stored;
• create a plan to deal with any emergency and, in most cases, keep a record of your findings; and
• review your findings when necessary.
How do I meet the order?
Who is responsible for meeting the order? If you are the responsible person, you must make sure you carry out a fire-risk

people have some responsibility. If your premises have been designed and built in line with modern building
regulations (and are being used in line with those regulations), your structural fire
precautions should be acceptable. You will still need to carry out a fire-risk
assessment and make sure that you keep up all fire precautions and maintenance
routines.
