Hayley G Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Does a storage room in a Chinese take away require a fire door when the room is set back from the kitchen and is not within the means of escape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil ashdown Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment to establish where fire doors (if any) are required. Guidance at: https://www.london-fire.gov.uk/safety/the-workplace/takeaways-cafes-and-restaurants/ and https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fire-safety-risk-assessment-offices-and-shops for example. Depends on the risk of fire at the location, the assessment could include (but the list is not exhaustive): Is there possible risk at the storage room? Are flammables stored there / is there risk of ignition? What electrical equipment or installation is there at the location? If there was a fire at the location, how would people at the building be affected? Is there any sleeping accommodation? Are there detectors and/or other fire safety devices? Would a fire at that location affect ease of escape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
