Premises-specific assessment

Fire risk assessment considerations in Epsom and Ewell

A local incident total cannot define the assessment scope. The building’s use, people, layout, construction, management and existing fire precautions remain decisive.

01

Town-centre premises

Upper-floor accommodation and adjoining occupiers can create shared escape, alarm and compartmentation questions.

02

Education and care

Evacuation arrangements must account for supervision, dependency and the people who may need assistance.

03

Altered and converted buildings

Historic changes, penetrations and incomplete records can affect the assessment scope and limitations.
