You may not be aware but:

Property protection and Business continuity planning are not covered by fire safety legislation and regulation.

Current legislation only requires that buildings meet minimum standards for life safety.

Buildings must be designed to ensure that in case of fire; 

  • there is suitable early warning;
  • other measures will enable occupants to safely escape and that
  • the building will allow Fire & Rescue Services to carry out rescue work for a limited period.

The Sussex Resilience Forum works to make Sussex a safer place for the whole community under the remit of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004.
