Drawing on her extensive experience across government, planning, and regulatory bodies, Rachel will examine how these lifts serve diverse user groups, enhance building functionality, and align with current policy frameworks. This presentation offers valuable insights for building owners, facilities managers, engineers, and lift industry professionals seeking to implement inclusive safety solutions that meet regulatory requirements while future-proofing their properties.

Join us for a comprehensive overview that bridges technical requirements with practical implementation strategies.

The session will cover:
✔ The groups of people who may require or benefit from evacuation lifts
✔ How evacuation lift integration enhances the overall building useability and future-proofs
✔ The regulatory landscape including current policy requirements, standards and guidance
✔ Implementation challenges – practical considerations for retrofitting existing buildings versus new construction planning
✔ The long-term benefits of evacuation lifts beyond regulatory compliance

Join us for this practical session where we break down the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2023 in straightforward, actionable terms. Since January 2023, these regulations have introduced critical new requirements for those legally responsible for fire safety in high-rise residential buildings.

Ian will guide you through:

✔ Where the Fire Safety (England) Regulations (FSER) apply.
✔ Who qualifies as a “Responsible Person”.
✔ The lift-related simple checks you need to undertake.
✔ The frequencies of these simple checks.
✔ Where you can find checklists and practical advice.

Whether you’re a facilities manager, building owner, or an industry professional, this session clarifies the legal responsibilities under the FSER and provides practical advice for ensuring compliance.

This session combines regulatory know-how with practical implementation strategies.
