Informal action
Educate and inform
Where the Authority believes there are minor fire safety measures which need attention, the Inspecting Officer may issue you with verbal advice. The matters advised on, need to be addressed in a timely manner to improve your fire safety.
Notification of deficiencies letter
Where the Authority is of the opinion that you have failed to comply with requirements imposed on you by the Order, but the breach is considered not to warrant service of an Enforcement Notice, the above notification will be served on you by the Inspector. The notification will identify matters to address, and the steps considered necessary to remedy them.
The Notification of deficiencies document is not an Enforcement Notice. It identifies deficiencies which need to be addressed to meet your legal obligations under the Order and is issued by the Authority before any formal enforcement action is taken.
As the responsible person, you may be given a period in which to make satisfactory progress towards achieving a remedy to the deficiencies.
