Guest Clare Smart Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 Can anyone help me. I've been asked by a client if they could avoid the expense of providing 60 minute fire rated boarding between their commercial units and the flats above, if the commercial units became empty? I can't find any particular guidance around this and wonder if it just comes down to a risk assessment? Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks.

AnthonyB Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 It would be down to risk assessment - empty does not mean risk free (which is why vacant premises are not exempt from the Fire Safety Order). I'd be looking at things including: Removal of all combustible materials and waste Isolation of gas & electricity security against arson & unlawful occupancy as part of determining if it was tolerable or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
