Fire Safety Legislation: Latest legal obligations and best practice

Recorded on Wednesday 14th February 2024.

This webinar focuses on the most recent legislation updates under Section 156 of the Building Safety Act 2022, which came into force in October 2023. It’s crucial that all Responsible Persons (RPs) understand their legal obligations, including changes to recording Fire Risk Assessments and increased co-ordination between RPs. This webinar will outline the requirements of Section 156, providing expert insight into how organisations have reacted to the changes and best practices developed from the most common challenges.

Discover recent updates as well as a recap of other key legislation that you must be aware of, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. It’s important to remember that adequately managed compartmentation of a building is a legal requirement for building owners and landlords under the Fire Safety Order. Our experts will outline your compartmentation responsibilities, how to find out if your properties have suitable compartmentation, and share lessons learnt from conducting compartmentation surveys and audits. 

From this webinar, you will gain a clear understanding of:

• The requirements of Section 156 of the Building Safety Act 2022.
• Key lessons learnt from working with organisations to help them stay compliant with legislative changes.
• How to find out if your building has adequate compartmentation.
