What about flats, bedsits and Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMO)?
July 12, 2016The Fire Safety Order requires that a Fire Risk Assessment be undertaken of the communal areas. This is assessment is known as a Type 1 as defined by the guidance document “Fire Safety in Purpose Built Blocks of Flats”.
Fire Safety beyond the front door of a dwelling is covered by The Housing Act and specifically the Housing Health and Safety Rating System.
Where an assessment is required to include inspection of the dwelling this is known as a Type 3 assessment.
