Do you understand the fire safety journey each organisation must take to achieve and maintain compliance? Do your buildings have adequate compartmentation, safe fire doors, and accurate building height measurements?
Following the increased focus on fire safety and enforcement of more stringent regulations over the past seven years since the Grenfell Tower tragedy, ensuring your building is safe from fire is not just a legal requirement but is paramount in ensuring tenant safety. Your journey to fire safety compliance can be complex, with requirements to accurately measure your building height, manage the risk of fire, and maintain sufficient fire compartmentation. In this webinar, we will break down each step of your fire safety journey in alignment with the most recent legislation updates to ensure you understand every aspect, from data collection to finding suitable installation contractors.
Regulation 38 of the Building Regulations 2010 stipulates that the competent person appointed to complete the erection or extension of a relevant building or in connection with a relevant change of use must share all documents related to the fire safety of the building with the Responsible Person no later than the date of completion of the work or the date of occupation – whichever is earlier. It’s crucial that you understand how to appoint a competent person, prevent a conflict of interest, and maintain a golden thread of information throughout your journey. Our panel of experts will discuss the fire safety journey from administration and procurement during project initiation through the complete fire safety process to appointing a competent contractor to ensure your fire safety journey is straightforward. This webinar will highlight common mistakes organisations make at each step and the best practices we’ve developed to avoid them.
