Introduction
This document suggests information that should be contained in a fire risk assessment record. When
completed in accordance with all suggestions it may serve as a record of a fire risk assessment as required
by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
This risk assessment is for use in small to medium sized premises. In larger premises, complex
buildings or where hazardous substances are in use, you will need to seek advice from a competent
Fire Risk Assessor.
From the time these Regulations came into force in October 2006 it is a requirement for all employers,
occupiers or owners of a property to:
 Carry out a fire risk assessment of the workplace/property taking into consideration employees and
all other people who may be affected by a fire in the building.
 Identify the significant findings of the risk assessment and the details of anyone who might be
especially at risk in case of fire. If five or more people are employed or if the property has a licence it
is a requirement that these significant findings are recorded;
 (However, it is recommended that a written record is produced on all occasions to assist when
reviewing your fire risk assessment).
 Provide and maintain such fire precautions as are necessary to safeguard those who use the
property.
 Provide information, instruction and training to employees about the fire precautions in the property
to ensure the safety of all persons who use the property.

9 Means of Escape – Horizontal Evacuation
Consideration of the following factors should be recorded in a narrative format and not simply a
Yes/No answer to a question.
Consider: -
• How fire hazards are controlled within the area/room/floor

• The need to control and monitor the number of occupants
• The number of occupants in the area/room/floor and their familiarity with the premises
• The likely spread of fire
• The time it would probably take to escape (2-3 minutes?)
• In the event of a fire can all persons safely evacuate the premises after taking into account
the fire risks in the area?
• Travel distances. How far to the nearest exit?
• Definition and number of escape routes. Easily identified and available at all times?
• Number and widths of exits. Sufficient to evacuate all occupants quickly and easily?
• Inner rooms situations. Is there exit only available through another room?
• Corridors. Do they need to be protected by fire resisting walls and doors?
• Dead-end conditions. Is there only one way out?
• Door openings and door fastenings. Can door(s) be opened easily without the use of a key?
• Do all escape routes lead to a place of safety (e.g. not to an enclosed yard)?
• Housekeeping. Is there storage of combustibles or obstructions in escape routes?
• Sufficient number of staircases.
16
• Provisions for people with disabilities. Deaf, Blind, Mobility issues or special needs etc
9 MEANS OF ESCAPE – HORIZONTAL EVACUATION

Comments:
17
10 Means of Escape – Vertical Evacuation
Consider: -
• Are there sufficient staircases to get all occupants out of the premises even if one staircase is inaccessible
due to fire?
• Are the staircases wide enough to get all occupants out of the premises? (including disabled persons)
• Do the doors, walls and partitions to the stairways need to be fire resisting (i.e. could a fire spread to the
staircase(s) before occupants have evacuated taking in to account the fire hazards present)?
• Do the exits from the staircases lead to place of safety (e.g. not to an enclosed yard)
• In case of fire do not use lifts (consider evacuation of people with disabilities?)
• If your property has only one staircase then you will need to look at the following.
How far do you have to travel to exit the property?
Is the fire separation between the ground and other floor’s adequate?
Do you need smoke detection to give early warning of fire to occupants above the ground floor?
The escape route must be kept clear of combustibles and ignition sources at all times.
10 MEANS OF ESCAPE – VERTICAL EVACUATION

Comments:
18
• Do all fire safety signs comply with the current standard (pictogram – symbols)?
• Are there sufficient fire exit signs on the escape routes?
• Are internal fire resisting doors indicated with “Fire Door-Keep Shut” notices?
• Are internal fire resisting doors to cupboards indicated with “Fire Door –Keep Locked Shut” signs?
• Where necessary are fire exit doors marked with “Fire Exit-Keep Clear” notices? (outside face)
• Are there signs indicating how to use door opening mechanisms e.g. “Push Bar to Open”?
• Are general fire action notices displayed stating what to do in a fire situation?
• Is fire-fighting equipment indicated where necessary?

Comments:
19
12 Fire Warning Systems
• Is there a suitable fire warning system that will alert all occupants in the event of a fire?
• If the premises are large and/or complex an electric fire alarm should be installed to the current British
Standard.
• Can all occupants be alerted when the alarm when it is sounded? (Including persons with hearing
difficulties)
• Is there a need for automatic fire detection i.e. sleeping risks, multi-occupied premises, varied working,
inner rooms situations, mezzanine floors?
If you have people sleeping on or above commercial premises you will need to comply with the Home
Stamp guide which can be downloaded from the following web address
http://www.homestamp.com/wp-content/uploads/05-N/v-/homestamptechguide021009.pdf
12 FIRE WARNING SYSTEM

Comments:

13 Emergency lighting System
• If the premises are in use during the hours of darkness (consider winter months) emergency/escape
lighting should be provided. (However, adjacent Street lighting through external glazing, may be considered
for simple premises)
• Areas of the premises with no natural light (internal spaces) should be provided with escape lighting.
• If the premises are large and/or complex an escape lighting system should be installed to the current
British Standard.
• Where the premises are small a number of hand held torches strategically located may be sufficient?
• When operated is there sufficient illumination for occupants to see the external escape routes clearly?
• Does the system operate on sub-circuit failure?
• Is there sufficient illumination at changes in level and changes in direction?
• Is there sufficient illumination to show fire exit doors and their operation?
• Is there sufficient illumination to show fire alarm call points and fire fighting equipment?
Emergency lighting is in case of a power failure in your premises so that all occupants can safely find their
way out of the premises in case of fire when power to the premises fails.
You must also ensure that your primary lighting is suitable so that all occupants can safely evacuate the
premises, especially during the hours of darkness and that any lighting required for means of escape is
maintained.
