Rules that apply in England
Cleaning chemicals are controlled under COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002), so every product used on site comes with a safety data sheet and a COSHH assessment. In England, fire safety in non-domestic premises falls under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, workplaces have had to separate recycling under Simpler Recycling since 31 March 2025, and the Building Safety Act 2022 adds duties for higher-risk residential buildings.
