Fire Risk Assessments for Industrial and Warehouse Premises

Manufacturing, engineering, storage and distribution — high fire loading, long travel distances and processes that frequently bring DSEAR into scope alongside the fire risk assessment.

What we find

The issues that come up most

Industrial premises are where fire risk assessment and DSEAR most often need to be handled together. Flammable liquids, LPG, solvents, dust-generating processes, battery charging and hot works all appear routinely, and a fire risk assessment on its own does not discharge the DSEAR duty. We flag clearly where a separate DSEAR assessment is required rather than leaving a gap in your compliance file.

The other defining feature is scale. Long travel distances in large open volumes, racking that obstructs escape routes, and mezzanines added without reassessing the fire strategy are recurring findings across almost every warehouse we assess.

Common findings in Industrial & Warehousing

  • Travel distances in large open volumes
  • Racking and stock obstructing escape routes and exits
  • Mezzanine floors added without revisiting the fire strategy
  • Flammable liquid and LPG storage triggering DSEAR duties
  • Battery charging areas and hydrogen accumulation
  • Hot works permit systems absent or not enforced
