Premises-specific assessment

Fire risk assessment considerations in Spelthorne

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

01

Offices and commercial premises

Fit-outs, shared systems and hybrid occupancy should be reflected in the current assessment and emergency plan.

02

Logistics and storage

Stock, racking, charging and vehicle interfaces can change fire growth, detection and escape considerations.

03

Residential and mixed use

Commercial ground floors and homes above can involve separate responsible persons who must cooperate.
