South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue will maintain the register, which will contain information relating to any Alterations, Enforcement and Prohibition Notices issued by them.  Notices will be held in the register for a minimum period of three years.

Definitions of the above mentioned notices:

Alterations:  Where the Inspecting Officer is of the opinion that any structural alterations being made to the premises will constitute a serious risk to relevant persons (whether due to the features of the premises, their use, any hazard present or any other circumstances). 

Enforcement: Where the Inspecting Officer is of the opinion that the responsible person, being under the obligation to do so, has failed to comply with any provision of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order within the time allocated to them.

Prohibition:  Where the Inspecting Officer is of the opinion that the risk to persons in case of fire, is so serious it will be necessary for the Fire Service to prohibit or restrict the use of parts of the premises.
