The provider (manager) must ensure that all work specified in the report has been completed within a reasonable time (specified in the report where necessary). The provider (manager) may be requested to inform the Fire Safety Officer when the work has been completed in order to allow a follow up visit to be made.
If the provider (manager) encounters any problems, the Fire Safety Officer should be contacted for advice and guidance.
For minor work, an inspector from the Commission for Social Care Inspection will ensure that any remedial work has been carried out to a satisfactory standard and will inform the Fire Safety Officer concerned.
1.4 Notification to Building Control
Where any unauthorised building work is encountered during a fire inspection, the Local Authority Fire Safety Officer will notify the Local Authority Building Control.
