Yes, absolutely! Absolute Health Fire Safety provides comprehensive, in-person fire safety training. This training is essential for landlords and tenants alike, equipping everyone with the knowledge and skills needed to prevent fires, respond effectively in an emergency, and evacuate the premises safely.
Depending on the fire hazards identified, there are a number of preventive measures that can be implemented to ultimately reduce or eradicate hazards or fire risk. Types of preventive measures may include: installing smoke detectors, fire alarms, fire extinguishers, and ensuring proper maintenance of electrical systems and heating equipment.
Landlords and property managers are advised to review fire risk assessments at least once annually. A new review should be conducted whenever there are significant changes to the property. This includes structural alterations, changes in the use of the building, modifications to fire safety systems, or an increase in the number of occupants.
Yes, fire risk assessments for HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) are generally more detailed and rigorous than those for single-let properties. HMOs are considered higher risk under fire safety law because they house multiple, unrelated tenants, increasing occupancy and the potential for fire hazards. Tenants may use additional electrical appliances, block communal exits with belongings, or inadvertently tamper with fire safety equipment, which is why these assessments require extra attention.
In rental properties, the Responsible Person is the individual legally accountable for managing fire risks and ensuring fire safety standards are met. This is typically the landlord, although responsibility can be shared or delegated to a managing agent if one is appointed, depending on the terms of the agreement.
Landlords are not usually required to give tenants a full copy of the fire risk assessment. However, they must share key findings and ensure tenants are aware of essential safety measures, including the location of fire exits, escape routes, alarms, and what to do in an emergency. If tenants request to see the assessment, landlords should be transparent and provide access, which builds trust and demonstrates compliance. In larger buildings, it’s a good idea to display fire safety notices in communal areas. For HMOs, local councils may check that tenants have been informed of fire safety arrangements.
The fire safety equipment landlords must provide depends on the property type, but there are key legal requirements for all rental properties. At a minimum, landlords must install smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation. Carbon monoxide alarms are also required in rooms with solid fuel appliances (e.g., wood-burning stoves). Since 2022, regulations in England have expanded to include any room with a fixed combustion appliance, excluding gas cookers.
Landlord insurance premiums are significantly influenced by the level of fire safety at your property. An up-to-date fire risk assessment demonstrates compliance and documents the safety measures you have in place, which insurers view positively. Without evidence of a fire risk assessment, you may face higher premiums or even difficulties claiming in the event of a fire.
