Posted By Mike Craven I am aware that under the current legislation (RRFSO 2005) there is a requirement to carry out fire safety risk assessments in shared/common areas of domestic properties (flats, maisonettes, sheltered housing, etc). Am I correct in thinking (and possibly telling management) that this is not new, and that the same duty/requirement existed previously under the 1997 Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations? Thanks, Mike

Posted By Mike Craven Thanks for this Adrian Shame though - I was looking forward to telling one or two people that they should have been doing this 12 years ago! Still, at least I can say that they have had three years to do all this work that they have had to cram into the last few weeks! Mike
