A council in South London has warned thousands of tenants are at risk after work from over 400 fire risk assessments have been uncompleted causing huge backlogs.
Having a fire risk assessment completed and then ignoring the findings defies the object and this is most likely the case with many buildings across the UK. I have often gone back and reviewed one of my assessments only to find the same issues the following year.
It would not wash in court to just say you have had the fire risk assessment completed and you view this as compliance with the law. It is due diligence on behalf of the responsible person to go through the assessment, complete the work from the action plan and share the assessment with relevant persons.
I can imagine with some councils there is a pass the buck mentality and one person passes the problem onto the next person and the assessments get lost in the system somewhat.
