FIRE SAFETY GUIDANCE
FIRE SAFETY GUIDE: FIRE HAZARDS AND SAFETY PROCEDURES FOR FLATS
IFSEC GLOBAL

John Davidson, the National Security Inspectorate’s Approval Schemes Manager,
provides practical help to those responsible for fire safety in flats and their
residents on how to avoid hazards and implement important ‘housekeeping’
measures.
Multi-occupied residential buildings, namely those containing flats, are subject
to increasingly stringent fire safety measures. The 2017 Grenfell tragedy has
been a catalyst for the introduction of positive and important measures to
better protect tenants from potential hazards. But what are the main risks
involved, and how can they be minimised?
Credit: elxeneize/AlamyStock
One of the biggest dangers in any purpose-built block of flats, or a building
that’s subsequently been sub-divided into flats with communal areas including
hallways and staircases, lies in the risk of fire breaking out within one of the
flats. Containment of any such fire is essential, to ensure it doesn’t spread
into communal areas and impede the safe exit of tenants, residents and visitors.
FIRE DOORS
Recognising the importance of such measures, the Fire Safety Act 2021
(applicable in England and Wales) requires mandatory fire risk assessments for
buildings containing two or more flats to include any entrance doors to flats
opening onto communal areas. In practical terms, this means specifying,
installing and maintaining an FD30 (30-minute fire resistance) front door.
Depending on the circumstances, an FD60-rated (60-minute) front door may be
required instead.
Fire-rated doors comprise elements including a self-closing mechanism, three
hinges, and intumescent seals that expand when exposed to heat – thus closing
any gaps between the door and the frame to protect those evacuating a building.
Fireproof letter boxes are also required, using similar intumescent seal flaps.
All fire doors fitted must have the appropriate proof of performance for the
ratings they carry, tested by a UKAS approved certification body to either BS
476 Part 22 or BS EN1634-1.
On 23 January 2023 the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 legislation took
effect in England, which includes a requirement affecting those responsible for
fire safety of residential buildings over 11m in height to carry out annual
checks of flat entrance doors and quarterly checks of all fire doors in the
common parts.
COMMUNAL AREAS’ ‘HOUSEKEEPING’
Good practice practical fire safety ‘housekeeping’ measures adopted within any
building containing flats will help ensure that hazards are avoided. These
actions should be combined with effective maintenance regimes, including regular
testing of emergency lighting.
To optimise safe and speedy evacuation of residents and visitors from a
building, there should not be any obstructions and/or trip hazards within
communal areas. These can include the accumulation of potentially combustible
uncleared rubbish and inappropriately stored items, as well as unsafe storage of
material within cupboards. These areas must therefore be regularly monitored and
any items removed when required.
Depending on the building’s height, automatically opening smoke vents may be
installed and their operation should also be regularly tested in accordance with
any manufacturers’ recommendations.
Equally, an appropriate inspection and maintenance regime for dry and wet risers
should be overseen by a competent service provider, given the vital role these
systems of valves and pipework play in providing a readily available means of
delivering considerable quantities of water to extinguish or prevent the spread
of fire.
Firefighting lifts may also be installed in larger or complex buildings, as a
dedicated means of assisting firefighters. Specific regulations apply to
equipment including an independent power supply and smoke extraction capability.
In such circumstances, it’s important to ensure that specialist lift maintenance
schedules are in place covering their operational capability in the event of an
emergency. Monthly checks are now required by law, in England, for firefighters’
lifts within high-rise residential buildings.
CHARGING OF E-SCOOTERS AND E-BIKES IN FLATS
Credit: Perry van Munster/AlamyStock
Mobility and other e-scooters/bikes represent a potential fire safety issue,
since they require regular electrical charging. Charging of this type of
equipment should only take place in dedicated charging areas or within the
tenant’s flat.
By contrast, the inappropriate use of extension leads trailing through front
doors and charging of mobility scooters and e-scooters/bikes cannot be allowed
in communal areas, given the fire safety implications – particularly from
potentially combustible lithium-ion batteries.
According to the London Fire Brigade, the majority of fires related to e-bikes
and e-scooters have happened in homes and are often caused when charging
batteries, due to factors including overcharging and use of batteries and
chargers not compatible with the equipment in question.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS FOR FLATS
Where ‘life safety fire risk assessment’ (LSFRA) for flats, or communal areas in
blocks of flats is required by national legislation it underpins fire safety
arrangements across the board.
These assessment findings are implemented by a legally identified ‘Duty Holder’
(sometimes called ‘Responsible Person’), who may be one of a number of possible
persons, e.g. the contracted residential managing agent, to help ensure people
and premises are kept safe. In reality, any freeholders’ company director(s)
will also ultimately be responsible in law.
In practice this means fire safety shortcomings identified by a LSFRA must be
carried out in full, as specified, with their recommendations being completed
within the stipulated timeframe. The results of an LSFRA may require, for
example, the implementation of fire safety protections including fire detection,
extinguishing and alarm systems, and emergency evacuation procedures – depending
on the size and height of the residential building involved.
COMPETENT SERVICE PROVISION
Fire safety requirements, and the need for providers to demonstrate their
competence, are becoming more stringent every year as post-Grenfell weaknesses
and loopholes in previous measures are addressed.
Third-party certificated providers, who are independently approved/assessed, can
provide significant reassurance for flat owners, tenants and landlords, as well
as those tasked with managing buildings containing flats. Holding approval from
a UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service)-accredited independent
certification body such as NSI demonstrates fire safety providers’ competence,
clearly verifying their services are compliant with current appropriate industry
standards and best practice.
Choosing independently approved service providers who meet required ongoing
legislation and insurance stipulations safeguards all those involved in
protecting flats and those who live in them.
