Demolition Sites Fire Risk Assessment in Plymouth

Built for Demolition Sites

High fire load • Racking & storage • Process risk reviewed

Reviewed by Chris Banks, Commercial Director & NEBOSH-qualified assessor · Last reviewed October 2026

Warehouses and industrial units present a distinct fire-safety challenge: high storage density, long travel distances to exits, and often machinery, forklifts and flammable materials. A thorough fire risk assessment is essential to protect staff and stock and to satisfy your insurer. HawkSwift's assessors understand industrial environments and produce practical, compliant reports. This page is tailored specifically to demolition sites premises.

Demolition sites present unique fire hazards due to the accumulation of combustible waste, hot work processes, and the potential for arson. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the principal contractor or site manager must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is in place, updated as the demolition phases progress. A competent assessor will specifically verify the segregation of flammable materials from ignition sources and the adequacy of temporary fire stopping in partially demolished structures to prevent fire spread.
