Identify potential fire hazards Decide who might be harmed and how Evaluate risks and decide whether more

necessary

Main source is air around us:
Natural airflow (doors, windows etc.)
Mechanical air conditioning)
Some chemicals (oxidising materials) Oxygen supplies from cylinder and piped
systems

Identify:
Who may be at risk of fire;
How they will be warned; and
How they will escape.
Consider employees, customers, visitors, contractors etc. and where they may be
![Page 12: D Part 11 Fire Revision](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546d4808af79596c298b52e2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Decide whether existing precautions are adequate, or whether more should be done
Consider: Chance of fire occurring;
Precautions in place;
Warning systems;
Means of escape; and
Means of fighting fire.

If more than 5 employees Record significant findings & people at risk Record could be simple list (see below), or
layout plan, or a combination of both
Significant hazards People/groups at
risk from hazards
Existing controls
and risks which are
not adequately
controlled
Further action

-by who?

Review when no longer valid or significant changes
No need to review in light of trivial changes Fires or near misses should initiate review Ensure precautions are working effectively

Shouting “Fire” may be sufficient in small workplaces
Electrical fire warning system with manual call points is likely to be required
Automatic fire detection may also be necessary
Alarm should be loud enough for everyone to hear it
![Page 19: D Part 11 Fire Revision](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546d4808af79596c298b52e2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Should normally be an alternative means of escape
Each escape route should be independent of any other
Should lead to a place of safety Should be wide enough for number of
occupants Should not normally reduce in width Should be available for use and clear at all
times
![Page 20: D Part 11 Fire Revision](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546d4808af79596c298b52e2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Consider what people are doing when alarm sounds: Operating machinery that will have to be
switched off
Sleeping etc. Disabled may need help to evacuate Corridors should be 1m wide Stairways should be of sufficient width Should be sufficiently lit, and have
emergency lighting where necessary
