With the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order nearly 10 years old now, the London Fire Brigade are set to investigate how successful it has been and what can be improved. There have been a number of prosecutions and the biggest concerns are:
· A significant rise of dealing with residential accommodation e.g. common parts and beyond the front door
· Enforcement of other related legislation such as Housing Act and Building Regulations.
· Guidance need to be reviewed and new guidance needed for the rise
This single piece of fire safety legislation replaced over 100 older pieces of fire legislation and now is a good time for the findings to be revealed to ensure improvements can be made where necessary.
Here at Whale Fire - we will keep you posted with the findings.
