One occupied fire-safety chain
For occupied higher-risk buildings, fire safety is not a single document. Accountable Persons and responsible persons need a living fire risk assessment, door inspection cadences where FSER 2022 applies, Emergency Evacuation Information Sharing (EEIS), and Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) for residents who need them — linked into the golden thread and the safety case.
BSA section 156 strengthened the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Treat Fire Safety Order duties and Building Safety Act Part 4 duties as complementary — not interchangeable checklists.
FRA, fire doors, EEIS and PEEPs
Fire risk assessment (FRA)
BSA s.156 strengthened the Fire Safety Order. Occupied HRBs need a suitable FRA lifecycle with assessor identity, review scheduling, and golden-thread linkage of significant findings and actions.
Fire doors (FSER 2022)
Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 set inspection cadences — including quarterly checks for common-area fire doors and annual checks for flat entrance doors where the regulations apply.
EEIS (reg.3A)
Emergency Evacuation Information Sharing arrangements ensure information about residents who need assistance can be shared appropriately with the fire and rescue service.
PEEPs (reg.3A)
Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans for residents who need them — with review dates, consent controls for special-category data, and notification when plans change.
Cadences and failure modes
Where the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 apply, common-area fire doors are typically checked quarterly and flat entrance doors annually — with records that show who checked, when, the outcome, and any remedial work. Missed cadences and “checked somehow” notes without evidence are recurring inspection findings.
- FRA overdue or not linked to significant findings and closed actions
- Door inspections logged without identifiable doors or remedial owners
- EEIS data incomplete or not reviewable with the fire and rescue service interface
- PEEPs without review dates, consent controls, or notification when plans change
- Fire risks described in the safety case but invisible in day-to-day registers
Keep actions visible in the golden thread
- FRA significant findings with owners, due dates, and evidence of closure
- Door inspection schedules with pass/fail history and remedial works
- EEIS sharing arrangements with review dates and FRS interface notes
- PEEP registers with consent controls for special-category data
- Links from fire risks into the safety case and resident information
Resident-facing pathways sit in resident engagement & information rights.
