Smoke control is a crucial life safety system. It needs to be carefully designed, installed and commissioned properly, by fully competent experts. It also needs to be maintained regularly by equally competent companies, who should have third party certification. Learn more about specialist smoke control maintenance.
Your legal responsibilities have changed.
The recent amendments to the fire safety regulations has affected the responsibilities of the ‘Responsible Person’ (or ‘Accountable Person’ in the case of high-rise residential buildings) in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO). As of 23 January 2023, there will be additional duties that you will have to carry out if you own or manage a building with smoke control systems, particularly if it is a high risk or high rise residential building. Read our useful blog to find out what the changes are, how they affect you and how Colt can help you stay compliant. Understand more about your duties.
