Borough premises situated in: Tower Hamlets
Responsibility of person on whom notice served: Owner
Applicable legislation: Article 29: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
Due to the height of this premises, the means of escape and firefighting provisions are reliant on the correct functioning of the fire safety systems, including the VESDA, wet riser, firefighting and evacuation lifts, smoke ventilation, smoke curtains and suppression systems. Additionally, the building relies upon a management structure having a detailed understanding of the operation and maintenance of these fire safety systems as well as understanding the importance of having a good relationship with all the occupancies within the building. Changes and/or failures to the above matters could impact the current evacuation strategy and are likely to result in fire fighters being inadequately supported to carry out their duties and therefore places relevant persons at risk.
