Faced with a barrage of new legislation and regulation, it is not surprising that many landlords and property managers are anxious about their ability to cope and make sure their buildings are compliant, especially when there are so many other issues, like energy costs, to worry about.
Fire Safety (England) Regulations which came into force on January 23rd and include stringent new legal requirements for anyone responsible for fire safety in higher-risk residential buildings (HRRBs). This underlined a challenging start to 2023 following three other significant legislative and new regulatory changes in the shape of the Fire Safety Act 2021, the Building Safety Act 2022 - which received royal assent on 28 April 2022 - and updates to Part B of the Building Regulations.
Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the regulations close several important loopholes relating to building safety risks, including the introduction of a stricter regime for checking fire doors and a requirement to improve the information relating to the building provided to residents. They also place greater responsibilities on building duty holders to produce detailed documentation covering external wall design, floor and building plans, along with a fire safety strategy, which must be available to residents and the fire service.
To comply with the new Building Safety Act, the Facility Management sector must absorb a significant amount of new legislation into their day-to-day operations, which has led to legitimate concerns within the industry over their ability to do so.
The golden thread of information demonstrates a building’s compliance through its various life stages, from design through to operation and maintenance and should be held in a digital format that can be accessed readily by those who need it e.g., building managers, architects, contractors etc. Furthermore, information from the golden thread must also be shared by the Accountable Person with other relevant people, including residents and emergency responders.
