Lancashire Fire Safety Compliance & Legislation
Legal Update 2026: Section 156 of the Building Safety Act 2022 now mandates that all businesses in Lancashire record their fire risk assessment in full, regardless of size. The Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service (LFRS) is actively inspecting commercial, HMO, and multi-storey residential properties to ensure these higher safety standards are met.
Lancashire's property landscape is uniquely varied—ranging from the coastal hospitality sector in Blackpool to the major industrial hubs in Burnley and Blackburn and the historic city of Lancaster. Whether you manage a converted cotton mill or a high-rise residential block in Preston, you are the "Responsible Person" legally tasked with ensuring life safety.
