9. FIRE DEVELOPMENT ON THE PREMISES
CONSIDERING THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN SECTION 1 - 5

DESCRIBE THE MOST LIKELY WORSE CASE SCENARIO FIRE
SITUATION TO BE ENCOUNTERED.
To include details of estimated fire development and heat and smoke

generation.
The most likely worse case scenario for life risk is,
During office hours a fire in the kitchen, with the kitchen door in the open position. This
door is on the protected escape route and staff have to pass by this door in order to
escape the premises.
Smoke and products of combustion would prevent use of the rear fire exit and prevent
the cashiers from using either of the fire exits.
Early detection of the fire will not be accomplished due to no installed fire alarm system,
but detection will only be achieved by staff or occupants discovering a fire.
Good staff training would enhance an early evacuation.
Practiced fire drills where cashiers escape over the counter would enhance any
evacuation, but this procedure is unacceptable under H&S.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Reccommend installation of a means of detecting and raising the alarm in case

of fire such as a British Standard 5839 type P2/M system.
While using the kitchen the occupants must not leave the room unattended.
Kitchen door to kept shut at all times.
Staff training in the use of fire fighting equipment including fire blankets.
Regular staff training in general fire awareness.
Regular monthly testing of the emergency lighting system.
Regular fire evacuation drills.
Ensure all personnel are aware of the Emergency Action Plan.

assessment / EAP must be highlighted to the Branch Manager.

Phone: 0845 2025 999
10. RAISING THE ALARM
MEANS OF DETECTING & GIVING WARNING OF FIRE:
No BS 5839 Fire alarm system, detectors, call point and

EXISTING PROVISION sounders.
Staff are trained to alert persons to a fire alarm on exiting
the premises by shouting FIRE.
On discovery of a fire, immediately call the Fire Service
and leave.
No means of adequately detecting or raising the alarm in
MATTERS OF CONCERN case of fire.

New testing procedure for existing fire precautions – (The RRO legislation
requires this)
BS 5839-1:2002 Fire Alarm System type P2/M as stated in Annex A in the code
of practice.
“A category M system normally satisfies the requirements of legislation. It is

however often combined with a category P system to satisfy the requirements
of insurers, as company policy for protection of assets, or to protect against
business interruption.”
