The Fire Precautions Act 1971, in contrast with previous legislation, is directed exclusively to the provision of fire precautions in buildings after occupation. The system of control is by fire certificate and can be applied to a class of premise (listed in Section 1) by means of a designating order. In the case of any particular use of premise, the Secretary of State, under Section 12, may by Regulation, make provision as to precautions which are to be taken in relation to the risk to persons in case of fire.
