Purpose and Scope of this Assessment The purpose of this assessment is to ensure that fire risks are reduced so far as is reasonably practicable and to ensure that the arrangements for fire safety are adequate to ensure the safe evacuation of the occupants of the building. The assessment is not designed to minimise damage to buildings or their contents. The assessment is based upon information provided by the client s representative, a nonintrusive visual inspection of the building, reference to any old fire certificate drawings and standards specified in the relevant guides to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. The fire risk assessment report has not been supported by any drawings. Details of the existing fire safety arrangements are built up as time allows during the initial and subsequent assessments until all fire safety arrangements are recorded. As such this report or accompanying drawings should not be regarded as a comprehensive record of all of the fire equipment or arrangements present. Whilst reference may be made to highly flammable liquids, vapours, gasses, explosive dusts etc in determining the level of fire risk, and general recommendations made to reduce the risks from such substances, this assessment is not designed to ensure compliance with the detailed requirements of the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmosphere Regulations. The client is responsible for: confirming the accuracy of the information relating to their own fire safety arrangements specified in this assessment, ensuring the defined safety arrangements are implemented and maintained as appropriate, ensuring any recommendations made in the report are implemented and ensuring that any concealed apertures in fire resistant floors and walls separating compartments are adequately fire stopped. Any alterations to the building, processes or procedures should be assessed to ensure that they do not have an adverse affect on the existing fire safety arrangements. The findings of these assessments should be kept together with this assessment. The fire risk assessments should be reviewed annually to ensure they remain pertinent and the arrangements defined in the assessments continue to be implemented and maintained. Page 3 of 25

Action Plan It is considered that the following recommendation should be implemented in order to reduce fire risk to, or maintain it at, the following level: Tolerable. Definition of priorities: Priority 1 immediate action required to reduce the risk Priority 2 Action required within 1 month Priority 3 Action required within 3 months Priority 3+ - Action required within 3 to 9 months Ref Action Priority Action by whom 1. Fire Drills: Date action undertaken Fire drills are reported to take place at least twice per year but the records of the previous drill were unavailable. Records of fire drills should be maintained and the assessor has provided an example form which could be used to record drills and the conclusions etc. for ease. 2. Record Keeping Fire and Building Log Book: Whilst records are maintained, there has been a change in maintenance companies recently and the log book has, over the years, lacked formal structure and was difficult to audit. 2 Martin Difrancesco Site Manager 2 Martin Difrancesco Site Manager It is recommended that old maintenance reports are archived and that a new log be created with all of the fire and building related checks included. Items to consider for inclusion would be: 1. Roller fire shutter 2. Hold open devices 3. Lightening protection systems 4. Fire equipment servicing 5. Emergency lighting 6. Etc. Page 4 of 25

3. Compartmentation: Some fire doors are routinely propped open (e.g. recourse room). This room in particular houses large quantities of combustible materials and various sources of ignition (albeit they are controlled). 2 Martin Difrancesco Site Manager Fire doors are provided to protect critical means of escape from the building in the event of a fire and should remain closed as they are intended and signed to be. Where doors are required to be held open a propriety hold-open device should be fitted and checked on a regular basis. Page 5 of 25

Fire Risk Assessment Likelihood of fire Potential consequences of fire Slight harm Moderate harm Extreme harm Low Trivial risk Tolerable risk Moderate risk Medium Tolerable risk Moderate risk Substantial risk High Moderate risk Substantial risk Intolerable risk Taking into account the fire prevention measures observed at the time of this risk assessment, it is considered that the hazard from fire (likelihood of fire) at these premises is: Low Medium x High In this context, a definition of the above terms is as follows: Low: Unusually low likelihood of fire as a result of negligible potential sources of ignition. Medium: Normal fire hazards (e.g. potential ignition sources) for this type of occupancy, with fire hazards generally subject to appropriate controls (other than minor shortcomings). High: Lack of adequate controls applied to one or more significant fire hazards, such as to result in significant increase in likelihood of fire. Taking into account the nature of the building and the occupants, as well as the fire protection and procedural arrangements observed at the time of this fire risk assessment, it is considered that the consequences for life safety in the event of fire would be: Slight harm x Moderate harm Extreme harm In this context, a definition of the above terms is as follows: Slight harm: Outbreak of fire unlikely to result in serious injury or death of any occupant (other than an occupant sleeping in a room in which a fire occurs). Moderate harm: Outbreak of fire could foreseeably result in injury (including serious injury) of one or more occupants, but it is unlikely to involve multiple fatalities. Extreme harm: Significant potential for serious injury or death of one or more occupants. Accordingly, it is considered that the risk to life from fire at these premises is: Trivial Tolerable x Moderate Substantial Intolerable A suitable risk-based control plan should involve effort and urgency that is proportional to risk. The following risk-based control plan is based on one advocated by BS 8800 for general health and safety risks: Page 22 of 25

Risk level Trivial Tolerable Moderate Substantial Intolerable Action and timescale No action is required and no detailed records need be kept. No major additional fire precautions required. However, there might be a need for reasonably practicable improvements that involve minor or limited cost. It is essential that efforts are made to reduce the risk. Risk reduction measures, which should take cost into account, should be implemented within a defined time period. Where moderate risk is associated with consequences that constitute extreme harm, further assessment might be required to establish more precisely the likelihood of harm as a basis for determining the priority for improved control measures. Considerable resources might have to be allocated to reduce the risk. If the building is unoccupied, it should not be occupied until the risk has been reduced. If the building is occupied, urgent action should be taken. Building (or relevant area) should not be occupied until the risk is reduced. (Note that, although the purpose of this section is to place the fire risk in context, the above approach to fire risk assessment is subjective and for guidance only. All hazards and deficiencies identified in this report should be addressed by implementing all recommendations contained in the following action plan. The fire risk assessment should be reviewed regularly.) Page 23 of 25
