Fire risk assessment

Warehouse Fire Risk Assessment

Warehouse fire risk assessments cover storage arrangements, escape routes, loading areas, plant rooms, mezzanines, racking, machinery and the fire precautions needed for staff and visitors.

Typical warehouse pricing

Warehouse risk factors

• Combustible stock, packaging, pallets and waste storage.
• Forklift charging areas, battery storage and plant rooms.
• Long travel distances, shutter doors and blocked escape routes.
• Hot works, contractors, sprinkler arrangements and arson risk.

Who needs one?

Employers, landlords, occupiers and managing agents with control of warehouse areas need a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. Multi-let estates may need coordination between tenants and the site manager.

Buying tip

Tell the assessor about mezzanines, shift patterns, hazardous goods, charging points and any sprinkler or smoke ventilation systems before asking for a price.
