Analysis by the Centre for Economics and Business Research, commissioned by Aico, has looked into the detail of where the most domestic fires are happening, as well as the cost of these fires. Aico’s Tina Mistry tells us more about the findings.
Since the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, a new Fire Safety Act and Building Safety Bill – along with new roles and a consumer regulation regime – have set the sector on a firm path to improving the safety of housing. The Building Safety Bill sets out that the building safety manager of a tall building has to demonstrate a resident engagement strategy to inform tenants about fire safety.
Home safety systems specialist Aico recently commissioned the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) to undertake data analysis on the causes of domestic fires – as well as safety, standards and regulations – to ask what social landlords might need to consider to communicate with residents to help reduce the number of domestic fires.
