This policy explains how Portsmouth Homes manages fire safety in its homes and communal buildings. It sets out the measures we take to identify and reduce fire risks, meet legal requirements and help keep residents safe.
We take a proactive approach to fire safety through regular inspections, risk assessments, maintenance programmes and resident engagement. We work to make sure buildings are designed, maintained and managed to support safe evacuation and minimise risk.
Residents also play an important role in fire safety by following guidance and reporting concerns. For full details on fire safety management and resident responsibilities, read the full policy.
