Factories & Storage Premises Guide
The guidance is applicable to general fire safety in premises used as factory or storage premises (Class 1 or 2). It is also suitable for individual units or occupancies within larger multi-use and/or multi-occupied complexes where there is a need for co-ordination and to take account of the overall fire safety arrangements in the complex.
Much of the guidance is relevant to buildings, however, the requirements of fire safety law apply equally to external areas, open air premises or parts of premises, storage yards and external plant.
As work progressed on the series of fire safety guides, a number of changes were made to the earlier guides, including Practical Fire Safety Guidance for Factories & Storage Premises. These changes were made in order to ensure consistency across the series, especially in respect of generic text. The revised guide is available in HTML and PDF format as well as being searchable from the search page:
