Overall Risk Classification of Premises [LOW, NORMAL, HIGH] : A - Immediate, B - within 1 year, C - within two years, D - rolling maintenance programme, M - management or procedura HIGH This fire risk assessment report is part of an appendix and is to be read in conjunction with the main report. It represents Savills understanding for the current building designs and use, the fire strategy and proposed evacuation procedures. It is to provide an assessment of the risk to life from fire and does not address building or property protection or business continuity. The report is not an assurance against risk and is based on the best judgement of the consultant involved. The assessment may rely on information given by others and no liability is accepted for the accuracy of such information. Should any of the buildings (or their operations) change in any way the risk assessments should be updated accordingly. In addition, it is recommended that this fire risk assessment is reviewed at least annually. Each fir risk assessment identifies areas to which access was not available during the inspection. In certain instances we may have made recommendations for further inspection in the report, however as a general guidance we would recommend that the no access areas are inspected as soon as possible.
