1. Recording Findings: All Responsible Persons must document their fire risk assessment findings, irrespective of premises size or purpose, eliminating the previous requirement only for certain buildings.

2. Fire Safety Arrangements: Record your fire safety arrangements, encompassing procedures and policies managing fire safety within your building.

3. Identity of Assessors: Responsible Persons must now record the identity of individuals undertaking or reviewing the fire risk assessment, ensuring transparency with full names and organizational details.

5. Transition of Responsibilities: Departing Responsible Persons must share relevant fire safety information with incoming Responsible Persons to ensure continuity in fire safety practices.

6. Higher-Risk Buildings: For higher-risk buildings, the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) will oversee regulation from October 1, 2023. Responsible Persons must identify and cooperate with the Accountable Person, a new legal entity under the Building Safety Act 2022.

7. Information Sharing for Communal Areas: Responsible Persons in multi-occupied residential buildings must now provide residents with a more extensive list of “relevant fire safety matters,” including evacuation instructions, identified risks, and preventive measures.
