Ian First, I would have thought the Landlord would have covered fire and safety aspects of the building in the lease agreement T&Cs. You would do well to discuss these matter with a leasing agent who are often solicitors or hace access to them. The building should be fit for purpose in first place and normally the tenant will be obliged to ensure fire and general maintenance of building is their responsibility whilst they are occupying it. The insurance company for the building may have an input on these matters as well. In terms of fire and safety. There are two drivers, the OLA which is a civil law ensuring those who are injured due to the negligence of an occupier of a building can claim for any inury caused. The other driver is the RRFSO. It is one of the few criminal laws where the duty can be transferred. Normally the occuppier (eg tenant) will complete their own FRA. If the building is shared occupancy then the lease holders are obliged to liasie with each other in producing FRAs. Ray
