Warehouse Fire Safety

Warehouses fire safety is the most important priority for the premises operation, regardless of its functional purpose. Depending on the purpose and type of warehouse, it will have its own fire safety requirements.

To ensure comprehensive fire safety, a specialist needs to visit the object and analyze the data: premises type, purpose, orientation, structures fire resistance level, functional fire hazard classes, current fire safety systems, the need for additional equipment.

Warehouses fire safety involves the presence of devices on the site to prevent and rapidly eliminate the fire – suppression system, smoke detectors, smoke ventilation, etc. Employees should be instructed how to behave during a fire, know about evacuation routes.

There are factors that minimize the fire risk at the warehouses:

• storage facilities smart placement in relation to each other;
• compliance with the requirements for different materials storage;
• evacuation plan and the required exit routes number;
• central heating system usage;
• safety rules observance when working with electrical appliances;
• circuit breakers and disconnecting devices installation in the electrical grid;
• Employees regular briefing.

The fire safety system must be in operating condition, in the case of a fire, it has to effectively suppress the fire and prevent it from spreading further.

In our approach to warehouses fire safety, we work on three principles:

• The systems are individually selected. Each element is operable and complies with the relevant safety regulations.
• All elements have to be properly designed, installed and integrated into a complete fire safety system.
• Regular maintenance. Parts replacement if necessary.
