All guidance provided on FireSafe24 is for general information purposes only. It does not constitute professional fire safety advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for a site-specific assessment by a qualified, competent fire safety professional.
Fire safety requirements vary significantly depending on the type, size, use, and construction of your premises, as well as the number and nature of the people who use it. General guidance cannot account for the specific conditions at your premises.
Always engage a competent fire safety professional — such as a qualified fire risk assessor, fire alarm engineer, or fire door inspector — to advise on and implement fire safety measures at your specific premises.
