Residential buildings are home to families, individuals, and vulnerable residents. Effective fire safety measures ensure safe evacuation and prevent injury or loss of life.
Housing providers must comply with UK fire safety legislation — including the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, RRFSO 2005, and Housing Act 2004. Compliance demonstrates responsibility and safeguards both tenants and landlords.
Comprehensive fire safety measures protect homes, personal belongings, and building integrity — reducing damage, cost, and disruption.
A safe, well-managed environment promotes peace of mind and trust. Strong fire safety management supports resident wellbeing and social housing standards.
From high-rise flats to converted properties, each presents unique fire risks requiring tailored strategies.
Multi-residential sites need robust evacuation procedures and clear communication routes.
Including older adults, disabled persons, and families with young children — each requiring considerate planning

A DSEAR assessment identifies and controls risks from dangerous substances that could cause fire, explosion, or corrosion, ensuring compliance with the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002.
Any business that stores, handles, or uses flammable or explosive substances — from industrial plants to laboratories and workshops — must complete a suitable and sufficient DSEAR assessment.
HAC defines where explosive atmospheres may occur and the frequency of their presence. Zones 0, 1, and 2 (gases/vapours) and 20, 21, and 22 (dusts) determine the safety controls and equipment requirements.
Every three to five years, or sooner if there are significant changes in materials, processes, or plant layout.
