Tenant handbook - health and safety

We complete regular fire risk assessments based on the risk of the block.

All actions are recorded and completed.

We inspect the blocks to ensure escape routes are kept clear and the signage in communal areas is up to date.

Where required, we regularly service fire alarm systems, firefighting equipment, automatic opening vents and emergency lighting.

We inspect fire doors on a regular basis.

Fire safety dos and dont's:

• please keep exit routes in your home or in communal blocks clear
• make sure fire doors are kept closed
• do not leave combustible materials in an area where they could catch fire
• do not smoke in any communal area
• make sure bins and rubbish are secure

If you have any concerns about fire safety please contact the Housing Maintenance Team on 0800 111 4484 immediately or consider a free home fire safety visit from Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service.
