Fire Safety Information

A building-specific document provided for all residents, outlining fire safety arrangements, evacuation procedures and resident responsibilitites to support awareness and compliance.

Why Do I Need Fire Safety Information?

Fire Safety Information ensures residents are informed, aware, and prepared in the event of a fire.

Responsible persons have a legal duty to provide clear, relevant information to occupants, particularly in multi-occupied residential buildings, helping to reduce risk and support safe evacuation.

When Is Fire Safety Information Suitable?

Fire safety information is required under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for all multi-occupied residential buildings containing two or more domestic premises with common parts. It is particularly important for:

✓ Buildings with a defined evacuation strategy, such as stay put or simultaneous evacuation
✓ Residential buildings with shared communal areas
✓ Higher-risk and high-rise residential buildings subject to additional fire safety duties
✓ Developments where residents require clear and consistent fire safety communication
✓ Buildings where residents need information regarding fire doors, means of escape, and emergency procedures

Fire safety information should be provided whenever residents need clear guidance on the fire safety arrangements and emergency procedures within their building, including upon occupation, when information changes, and at intervals not exceeding 12 months in accordance with the Regulations.

Key Considerations Before Proceeding

Click the arrows to learn more

  • Fire safety information should reflect the current state of your building at all times. Regularly reviewing and updating your information helps ensure it remains reliable, giving you confidence in the decisions you make day to day.

  • Information is most valuable when it’s easy to find and use. Clear structure, consistent formatting, and centralised storage help ensure that key details are available when they’re needed most.

  • Well-organised fire safety information should do more than sit on file. It should help you identify risks, prioritise actions, and plan improvements across your portfolio. Maintaining accurate and accessible fire safety information also supports compliance with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, ongoing review of evacuation strategies, and effective communication with residents, contractors, and enforcing authorities where required.

  • For those managing multiple buildings, consistency is key. Standardising how fire safety information is recorded and managed makes it easier to compare risks, track progress, and maintain oversight.

How Fire Safety Information Supports Compliance

Fire Safety Information helps responsible persons meet their legal duties under key UK legislation, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, and the Building Safety Act 2022.

By providing clear and accessible guidance, it ensures residents understand fire risks, evacuation procedures, and the safety measures in place within their building. This not only supports compliance with legal requirements but also plays a critical role in protecting life safety.
