What we find

The issues that come up most

Hospitality premises combine most of the factors that make fire risk assessment difficult. Occupant numbers can be high and fluctuate wildly. Occupants are unfamiliar with the building, and may have been drinking. Commercial kitchens present a significant ignition source with extraction ductwork running through the structure. And where there are letting rooms or staff accommodation above, sleeping risk applies with everything that follows from it.

Licensed premises also carry the added exposure that fire safety failings can affect the premises licence itself, not just the Fire Safety Order position.

Common findings in Hospitality & Licensed

  • Occupancy capacity not calculated or not enforced
  • Kitchen extraction ductwork breaching compartmentation
  • Bulk or bottled LPG bringing DSEAR into scope
  • Sleeping risk in letting rooms or staff accommodation
  • Final exits locked or obstructed during service
  • High staff turnover undermining evacuation roles and training
