Which bodies are enforcement authorities under Article 25?

Explanation:
Under Article 25, enforcement is carried out by three bodies, covering different premises and roles: the Health and Safety Executive acts as the enforcing authority for workplaces under health and safety law where fire safety is part of that regime; the Local Authority (typically through environmental health) enforces fire safety requirements in premises outside the HSE’s scope; and the Fire Inspector from the Fire and Rescue Service enforces the Fire Safety Order itself in the appropriate premises. This combination ensures fire safety enforcement across the varied environments employers operate in. The other bodies listed aren’t designated enforcement authorities for Article 25, such as the Police or the Department for Work and Pensions.
