The principal fire safety laws in England include:

• The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
• The Fire Safety Act 2021
• The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022

These laws apply to most properties except single residential dwellings and place legal obligations on property owners and responsible persons, especially in multi-occupied residential buildings, workplaces, and public spaces. The regulations cover everything from the building’s external walls and structure to fire doors in common areas.

Key Fire Door Responsibilities:

• Quarterly checks for fire doors in common areas.
• Annual checks on flat entrance doors.
• Remedial work to ensure all fire doors are functioning properly.
• Communication with residents about fire door safety.

Fire doors are crucial for containing fire, smoke, and toxic gases, and regular checks are mandatory to ensure they provide adequate protection. Compliance with these regulations ensures a safer environment for all occupants.
