Government Calls for Feedback on Fire Safety Order

ON 6 JUNE, the Government launched its consultation on Building a safer future: proposals for a reform of the building safety regulatory system following the Grenfell Tower tragedy and Dame Judith Hackitt’s independent review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety.

Fire Safety Order

The consultation builds on the recommendations from the Hackitt Review and proposes fundamental reform of building safety requirements so that residents are safe, and feel safe, in their homes.

To coincide with the consultation, the Home Office has published a Call for Evidence on the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This is the first part of a process to ensure that the Fire Safety Order is fit for purpose for all buildings it regulates.

Both consultations close on 31 July 2019.
