If you are a London or Manchester based Property Management Company and have a portfolio of Purpose Built Blocks of Flats, you may be held ‘responsible’ for the Fire Safety Risk Assessments of the Communal Parts of each Block.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires all Purpose Built Blocks of Flats to have an up to date Fire Safety Risk Assessment for the Common Parts – it is the law! As a Property Management Company, it may well be your responsibility to ensure this is carried out and satisfies the Order.
There are some Fire Protection Services in London and Manchester that provide a Risk Assessment in a checklist format which is cheap but doesn’t provide the necessary information/detail required by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. To ensure you are provided with a ‘suitable and sufficient’ Fire Safety Risk Assessment you should ensure that the Company you appoint is qualified to do the job and fully insured.
A ‘suitable and sufficient’ Fire Safety Risk Assessment must include the following parts
A Fire Safety Inspection and Audit carried out by a qualified Fire Risk Assessor
· Fire Safety Risk Assessment Report
· Fire Safety Management Action Plan
