I live in sheltered accommodation (for independent living for the over 55s), where I am Chairman of the Residents Committee. There are three floors: ground, 1st and 2nd, with lifts and staircases. Each door on each floor into the stairwell is a fire-door.

I would still like it clarified to me that we are not required to provide a written FRA for those…

Hi I have downloaded a fire risk assessment form and I am struggling with a few points. Our community hall has a large downstairs room as well as a kitchen and stairs leading upstairs to two meeting rooms. Our meeting room has wall hangings and wall carpets 1) In the fire risk assessment form in 1.11 the form is asking if we have combustable wall coverings. I have clicked yes but after discussions I feel that removing or intumescent treatment would be over the top and that we have sufficient escape routes from the meeting room affected (and also low risk occupancy).

We are opening a bargain shop in a Bradford shopping area. One large room upstairs and a cellar with little customer and staff toilet. Top room about 30ft by 25ft. Bottom 23ftx20ft. Cubicle 4x5ft. There is some emergency lighting already. No smoke alarms or panel. The backdoor in the top room is locked all the time to prevent theft.
