In residential buildings with two or more domestic premises (e.g. blocks of flats) then the responsible owner must provide residents with information on the risks from fire within their building and the fire safety measures provided to keep them safe. This requirement expands upon legislation introduced earlier this year that required responsible persons to provide residents with information on emergency procedures and the importance of fire doors.

Control equipment for the Evacuation Alert System (EAS) should be prominently sited, within a secure enclosure, on the normal fire and rescue service entrance level, at a location close to the normal fire and rescue service entrance. A suitable Evacuation Alert Control & Indicating Equipment (EACIE) or Premises Information Box (PIB) sign should be fixed to the door of the cabinet. 15
