The interpretation and application of the various guidance documents relating to fire safety within the social housing environment, and the legislative overlap between the Housing Act and the Fire Safety Order, have led to many instances of both over provision and under provision of passive and active fire safety measures which have a significant impact on the levels of risk to be managed within premises. The session will provide an overview of the most common instances, and help to provide clarification as to how interpret guidance in the spirit of how it has been developed.
