Part 4: Higher-risk buildings Miscellaneous and general Section 109: Cooperation and coordination Effect
Subsection (1) and (2) set out that where there is more than one Accountable Person for an occupied higher-risk building that they must, when carrying out their duties, cooperate and coordinate with all other Accountable Persons for that building as far as possible.
	This section requires the Accountable Person for a higher-risk building to assist a Responsible Person who, within the same building, also has responsibilities for the fire safety of the occupants and people who might be affected by a fire. The Accountable Person must therefore cooperate with each Responsible Person so that they can carry out their duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
	Responsible Person(s) are defined under Article 3 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
