Regulation 7 Mitigation of risksI1
England and Wales
Following a person-centred fire risk assessment, the responsible person must, after discussion with the relevant resident—
implement any mitigating measures that it is reasonable and proportionate for the responsible person to take on the basis that the costs of any such measures are borne by the responsible person or shared by the residents of the building;
subject to paragraph (3), implement any mitigating measures that it is reasonable and proportionate for the responsible person to take on the basis that the costs of any such measures are borne by the relevant resident.
For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a), the costs of a mitigating measure may only be shared by the residents of the building where the measure would benefit the majority of the residents for the time being of that building.
The responsible person is not required to implement a mitigating measure falling within paragraph (1)(b) unless the relevant resident pays the costs of the measure.
