Cold Storage Fire Risk Assessment

Built for Cold Storage

Insulation • forklift charging • low temps

Cold Storage premises carry sector-specific fire risks that a generic assessment will miss. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must arrange a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment covering ignition sources, escape routes, detection and the people who use the building. HawkSwift's NEBOSH-qualified assessors produce court-defensible reports tailored to cold storage — from £699 (instant quote confirmed in the form).
