A new article 21A will require Responsible Persons to provide residents of buildings containing two or more sets of domestic premises with specific information about relevant fire safety matters. This includes information about any risks to residents of the premises identified within the risk assessment, preventative and protective measures, name and UK address of the Responsible Person, the identity of any person appointed by the Responsible Person to assist them with making or reviewing the risk assessment under article 9, the identity of any competent person nominated by the Responsible Person to implement fire-fighting and fire detection measures and any risks to relevant persons throughout the building identified by other Responsible Persons in the building. Article 21A(3)(g) also confers a power on the Secretary of State in England, and the Welsh Minister for Wales, to make regulations to extend the fire safety information that Responsible Persons must provide and to specify the format and frequency for which the information must be provided.
