Common Mistakes in Walsingham
- the responsible person assuming Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service will inspect on their behalf — the duty to hold a suitable and sufficient assessment sits with the responsible person, not the fire and rescue service.
- Forgetting that common parts (stairs, corridors, shared kitchens) require an FRA under Article 9 of the RRO 2005 even where rooms are let individually
- Mixed-use buildings (shop below, flats above) where the commercial and residential responsible persons fail to co-ordinate
- Buildings over 11m where monthly flat entrance-door checks are a legal duty under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
- Not reviewing the assessment after refurbishment, change of use, or new equipment
