Key Responsibilities:

- • Act on recommendations and rectify defects promptly
- • Ensure systems remain operational and compliant at all times

Compliance Frequency & Legal Standards
Fire Safety must be tested and maintained according to statutory frequencies defined in UK building regulations and approved codes of practice.
Required Testing Schedule:
Fire alarms: Weekly user tests + quarterly/bi-annual servicing (BS 5839) | Emergency lighting: Monthly function tests + annual 3-hour duration tests (BS 5266) | Fire extinguishers: Annual servicing + 5-year extended service (BS 5306) | Sprinklers: Weekly/monthly checks + annual full system test
Failure to adhere to these frequencies may invalidate insurance coverage and expose duty holders to enforcement action by regulatory authorities.
