Common parts of blocks of flats come under the Fire Safety Order 2005

Whilst in most cases fire detection systems are not required in the common areas,the basis of the fire safety management system is reliant on the standard of entrance door that each flat is provided with.

If you would like assistance to manage the fire safety in your premises please give Anglia Fire Assessments a call on 01603 872984

Your fire safety managment system should be robust and self reliant and your staff should be trained to be able to effectively operate emergency equipment or implement procedures that you have provided or established.

Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans or PEEP’s should be formulated for anyone that frequents your workplace.

Generic Emergency Evacuation Plans or GEEP’s should be formulated for members of the public.

Suitable fire safety advice should be provided to residents and information relating to the flat entrance doors should be refreshed on an annual basis.

If you are selling a flat many organisations require a fire risk assessment these days to ensure that there are no issues connected with the sale.

Fire safety legislation now requires a fire risk assessment on any building that contains two or more domestic dwellings.
