What does our Building Safety Team do?

The role of the Building Safety Team is to ensure Fire and structural safety is managed across all our High-Rise Buildings.

Once a month we carry out checks of all our high-rise residential buildings. We check key safety features such as fire doors, escape routes, emergency lighting and escape signage. If anything is not working or damaged, we arrange for it to be fixed.

 

Annual fire safety audits and joint training exercises are undertaken with Essex County Fire and Rescue Service to test our emergency arrangements and building safety.

 

We are carrying out building safety audits to help us establish if our buildings have any defects or safety risks.

 

We created a Building Safety Policy to ensure we achieve our legislative requirements under the Building Safety Act 2022.

 

We hold joint training exercise with the Essex County Fire and Rescue Service to test our emergency arrangements.

 

We are working on specific resident engagement plans for each building.

 

If you have any concerns or would like any further information, please get in touch
