Fire safety in private rented housing

Statistics have extra poignancy given the tragic story of Julian Rosser’s daughter, Sophie, who died in a fire in a block of flats in London’s Canary Wharf in August 2012. An inquest heard that Ms Rosser's death could have been avoided if a self-closing fire door had not become stuck on the floor preventing it from closing.

In 2013, a Kettering landlord was jailed for nine months following a fire at one of his properties which killed a young boy, and two people who acted as property managers for the landlord received suspended prison sentences and fines. There were no fire doors at the property, and investigators found further fire safety failings at eight other properties he owned.

Following a fire at a property in Blackpool in July 2012, landlord Graham Sawings was prosecuted by Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service and fined £36,000. The three storey house was made up of three separate dwellings and significant fire safety offences were uncovered, including fire doors not closing properly. Private landlords will have to fit working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in their properties following a change in the law due to be introduced in October 2015. The new regulations will require landlords to install smoke alarms on every floor of their property and test them at the start of every tenancy.

Awareness of fire safety responsibilities

In 2005, a new fire safety law came in to replace more than 70 pieces of previous legislation. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
Commonly known as the Fire Safety Order or FSO – now firmly places responsibility for fire safety in buildings to whoever has day-to-day control of the premises.

However, awareness of fire safety duties is still low. When respondents with formal responsibility for fire safety in their organisations were asked in 2014 if they were fully aware of their legal obligations, almost half (46.5%) said they either did not know what they were, or admitted they were unclear.

Fire safety where we work and play
Almost half of us (47%) have never been shown or told about the fire safety procedures where we work.
If a fire alarm was to sound, 14% of people say they would see what everyone else was doing and ‘go with the flow’ – this rises to almost 23% of workers aged 25-44. One in 10 people (11%) would go into the corridor and investigate, and one in 20 admit they would simply ignore it, assuming there must be a fault on the alarm system

In the UK, three legislative regimes impose a duty to carry out a fire risk assessment. In England and Wales, the duties are imposed on the Responsible Person who, in a workplace, is the employer and in premises that are not a workplace is the person having control of the premises. The duty can also be imposed on other persons having control of the premises, such as managing agents. In Scotland and Northern Ireland, the term 'responsible person' is not used but, again, the duty will fall on the employer and/or certain other persons having control of the premises.
If, as a result of a failure to properly carry out a fire risk assessment, an occupant of the building or someone in the immediate vicinity is put at risk of death or serious injury in case of fire, an offence is committed which can lead to a heavy fine or, in serious cases, imprisonment.
