Fire Safety Legislation
According to The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it is a legal requirement for the responsible person to ensure a fire risk assessment is carried out by a competent person on a “regular basis”.
The National Fire Chief’s Council provide some guidelines to choosing a competent fire risk assessor which you can find listed by clicking here.
GF Fire Solutions is proud to say that they comply with all these guidelines. Our company is BAFE SP205 accredited for the provision of fire risk assessments and Richard is a 3rd party accredited, Tier 3 fire risk assessor (the highest level of competence) with The Institute of Fire Safety Managers.
Some of the legislation which you may need to adhere to include the Fire Safety Act 2021. This specifically refers to the assessment of external wall facades in a building that contains 2 or more domestic premises and the assessment of flat front doors.
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. This new legislation gives more emphasis on fire doors, flat front door checks, communal fire door checks and resident engagement. For high rise residential buildings (HRRBs) there are new requirements for secure information boxes (SIBs), information for fire and rescue services, the design and materials of external walls, types of lifts and fixed firefighting equipment and additional signage to assist firefighters.
