The importance of communal Health & Safety Expert insight on the new Fire Safety Act
Find out everything you need to know about health & safety in shared communal spaces.
In recent years, legislation for health & safety in apartment blocks and housing developments has tightened. Just last year, the Fire Safety Act 2021 and Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 were introduced as an important step towards implementing the recommendations of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 1 report.
With that in mind, we sat down with Michael Dray Tech IOSH / TMIFPO, who leads our surveying and project management team, Associated Surveying. Each year, Michael and the Team visit every property under our care, conducting regular site inspections, comprehensive Health & Safety Fire Risk Assessments, and overseeing major works.
Who better then to provide expert insight on the new Fire Safety Act and what it means for residents, as well as his take on common, preventable issues normally found in communal areas.
