WQ.144/2025
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY D.J. WARR OF ST. HELIER SOUTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 24th MARCH 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 31st MARCH 2025
Question
"Further to the Minister's response to Oral Question 68/2025, where he stated that no footfall records exist for Fort Regent, will the Minister advise how the number of people on site at any one time is monitored to ensure the building adheres to Fire Safety regulations?"
Answer
Building operators are generally not explicitly required by fire safety regulations to keep footfall data. However, fire safety regulations require building operators to assess fire risks and plan for safe evacuation. To that end, Fort Regent has an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place which is used in the event of an emergency. Within this plan the Fort is zoned and if the fire alarm is activated, staff are trained and tasked to evacuate those specific spaces.
Fort Regent requires a minimum of 4 staff to be able to operate and evacuate safely with current user levels. It should be noted that each tenant is responsible for vacating their own area/demised premise.
