520			_a"Making amends" reports on the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2004, which is due for implementation in 2005. The parliamentary committee overseeing its introduction have called for a number of amendments to ensure that business and fire authorities can meet its requirements and that the protections contained in current legislation are not lost during the implementation of the new regime. Amendments includefire safety in houses of multiple occupation, underground railway systems and alterations notices. "Support strategy" explains the work undertaken by the Chief Fire Officers' Association supporting the new order. This includes: enforcement and audit policies and procedures; information gathering to support the planning of fire service emergency cover in relation to buildings and the cross-mapping of data-sets relating to buildings/workplaces; the collection of data to support performance indicators/benchmarking of fire authorities; training programmes; and the development of inter-agency protocols. Suggests businesses which comply fully with current legislation should have no concerns about the introduction of this new legislation.
