Fire Safety legislation to come into effect in October

New fire safety legislation will come into force from 1 October, as part of the Building Safety Act 2022.

The new legislation will impose new duties on responsible persons of businesses and buildings, with the aim to further safeguard lives and property.

The legislation requires all responsible persons to maintain a comprehensive written fire risk assessment and fire safety arrangement. There are also enhanced requirements for cooperation and coordination in premises with multiple responsible persons, such as multi-occupied buildings or those with separate occupiers and building owners.

For residential buildings with two or more domestic premises, including blocks of flats, responsible owners must provide residents with detailed information about fire risks within the building and the safety measures in place to protect them.

To help building owners understand and prepare for the changes the National Fire Chiefs’ Council have created a series of videos to offer practical guidance on readiness, which can be found on the council's YouTube Channel.
