Secure Information Box (SIB/Big Red Box)

What is a SIB / Big Red Box?

A Secure Information Box is designed to save lives and securely store vital information. It holds crucial details such as floor plans, single-page orientation plans of the building, and the responsible person’s contact information. These details are essential for fire responders during emergencies. By offering quick access to this information, the Secure Information Box enhances safety and efficiency in critical situations.

The Law

Following the tragic Grenfell Tower disaster in 2017, the Fire Industry Association (FIA) and the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) took decisive action by introducing The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. This legislation came into effect in January 2023 across England.

These regulations state that existing high-rise residential buildings over 18 meters, as well as new builds over 11 meters or 7 storeys, must appoint a responsible person. This person is responsible for maintaining hard copies of the building’s floor plans, a single-page orientation plan, and the name and UK contact details of the responsible person. All this essential information must be stored in a Secure Information Box (formerly known as the Premises Information Box), which should remain easily accessible for firefighters during emergencies.
