Residential Fire Safety: New Best Practice, PEEPs and Resident Engagement

01 May 2024
Fire Safety Leaders Summit

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations, along with the Building Safety Act and its countless other secondary legislation sets a much higher standard for HRBs. But what does this mean for lower-rise and apparently lower-risk residential buildings? We look at the general direction of travel and how new guidance and the BS9792 draft gives us an insight into the new 'suitable and sufficient'. A primary focus for everyone managing residential buildings will be transparency of information and engaging residents in elements fire safety and evacuation. How can we leverage technology to do this? And how does it differ between social housing and the private block management sectors?
