Specific Control Measures
Record your findings for each of the following, including actions which will
need to be taken to correct deficiencies.
Fire Alarm – detection
Is there a need to provide early detection? Does the existing system meet the need?
Fire Alarm – warning
Can everyone in the building hear the fire alarm? Is there a need for other means of giving warning e.g.
visual signals?
Escape lighting
Are there any parts of the building where escape would be difficult if the normal lighting failed, e.g.
internal corridors and staircases?
Escape routes
Are there enough routes to enable people to escape without being put at risk by the fire? Where there
are alternatives are they separated so both will not be simultaneously affected by fire?
Fire Extinguishers – (1)
Are there enough of the appropriate types to enable a small fire to be tackled?
Fire Extinguishers – (2)
Is there a maintenance programme? Are employees given adequate training in the use of fire
extinguishers?
