[Mobility Scooter Internal storage.]

A recent FRA has raised a substantial action concerning the internal storage/charging of 2 mobility scooters in a communal lounge. The property is a specialist housing scheme. There is currently auto fire detection, extinguishers, Fd30s doors and 30min fire rated ceiling's and walls with 24/7 staffing. Can anyone advise if there is a a safe amount of scooters that could be stored in this room and if it is a requirement that an external store must be provided? Charging is also restricted to daytime only. Any advice appreciated.

[Fire door gaps]

Can anyone advise on the most recent regulations regarding fire door gaps?

Properties concerned are mainly HMOs housing vulnerable people that may take longer to evacuate

 

Many thanks

[Commercial Kitchen]

Hello, I am currently involved in a 60 bedroom extra care new build scheme in Grimsby.

There will be a small commercial kitchen with a medium size gas hob and extractor, I have been asked if a gas shut off is mandatory and also is it necessary to have some form of a deluge or suppression system above the cooking facilities? There will be a small deep fat fryer and I have already recommended a Wet Chemical, CO2 and AFFF Extinguishers and Fire Blanket.

Any advice appreciated

Regards

Mark
