These Regulations contain provisions which aim at improving fire safety in high-rise residential buildings and other multi-occupied residential buildings, and implement recommendations made by the Grenfell Tower Inquiry in its Phase 1 report in a practical and proportionate way. The Regulations impose new duties on Responsible Persons (RPs) of high-rise and other multi-occupied residential buildings to improve the safety of residents, whilst providing useful information to the fire and rescue service (FRS), which is the operational part of each fire and rescue authority (FRA), to support emergency response.
