How do storage arrangements affect our fire risk?

Storage height, density and the materials stored all influence the fire load and the suitability of existing fire protection. We assess this as part of every industrial fire risk assessment.

Do you cover sites with hot works or higher-risk activities?

Yes. We factor in higher-risk operational activities and provide recommendations on permit-to-work and procedural controls where appropriate.

Can you assess very large floor plates?

Yes — we routinely assess large industrial floor plates and consider travel distances, escape routes and detection coverage.

How often should an industrial assessment be reviewed?

Most industrial sites benefit from annual reviews, or sooner if layout, storage or operations change significantly.

Higher Fire Loads, Storage Risks & Operational Safety

Industrial and warehousing premises often carry higher fire loads, larger floor plates and more complex operational risks than typical commercial buildings.

We provide practical fire risk assessments that consider storage arrangements, racking layouts, vehicle movements, hot works and the operational reality of running a busy industrial site.
