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 recycling centres premises.
Recycling centres present significant fire hazards due to the accumulation of combustible materials like paper, plastics, and metals. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the 'responsible person' must manage these risks to ensure safety. A competent assessor will specifically examine waste storage configurations, verifying separation distances between bays to prevent fire spread and checking that ignition sources, such as balers or mobile plant, are strictly controlled.
