Yes, it called the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order...

Nice one Ray :-))

In my experience the Landlord/Managing Agent has tended to look after the 'hard' fire safety (alarms, emergency lighting, fire doors, signage etc) and the tenant the 'soft' fire safety (evacuation procedures, fire drills etc) and who does what is clearly defined in the lease agreement. I hope this helps.

Would the guidance for office buildings give you what you need to draft a checklist of actions required. (its a bit longwinded though so not sure it acts as a summary of what is required. I know there is an English version -but since based in Scotland only have the scottish version - www.firelawscotland.org. might be worth a look I had a situation where a shared tenancy office building did not cooperate, the advice from the fire service was to evidence all efforts to get cooperation ie letters and dates of phone calls etc and put your own plans in place for evacuation. another building we have is shared occupancy with multiple tenants although there is a managing agent on site. The agent has issued a fire assessment and evacuation procedure. They require each tenant to provide a fire policy and cooperate with their evacuation plan. They maintain all fire safety measures and schedule drills etc. They have not updated their assessment for several years so I have completed my own, written to them, spoken to them, recorded it and provided a copy of our fire policy. bit long winded - sorry - hope it is helpful also found this on on web - http://www.landlordzone.co.uk/fire_safety.htm it has a document for commerical property - might be useful Rebecca
