Certified Retail Fire Protection to Protect Staff, Customers and Inventory
Retail environments are fast paced, with new shoppers coming and going.
From individual shops to expansive shopping centres, whatever your shop's layout, a tailored fire protection strategy, plus professional fire stopping are essential to keep your staff and customers safe, whilst making sure they keep coming back.
Addressing fire hazards in retail settings
Common fire hazards in retail include electrical faults, overheating lighting systems, and improper storage of flammable materials.
These issues coupled with the large amount of inventory found in many shops can create the perfect conditions for rapid fire spread.
Importance of fire doors in retail premises
Fire doors play a crucial role in containing fires and providing safe evacuation routes.
In retail settings, alongside being properly installed and regularly inspected, fire doors also need to accommodate all members of the public.
This can often mean extra accessibility requirements should be put into place, to help ensure that even people with limited mobility can use the doors. Generally, this is achieved by using door closers and openers, which make doors easier to open, and then automatically close them.
With building aesthetics tying into the retail experience, often fire doors also need to look visually appealing.
Promoting fire safety in storage and backroom areas
Stockrooms and storage areas often house combustible materials, increasing fire risks.
Implementing proper storage practices. As such, we understand the importance of proper fire stopping across retail sites, not just the shop floor.
We’ll ensure all pipes, duct work, walls and gaps are sealed, with fire doors in place between the shop floor and backroom. Creating two separate compartments, to protect both your staff, and your customers. In order to do this,we make sure that fire doors separating stock rooms from shop floors are self closing, so if any fires do start, both backroom staff and people on the shop floor have time to escape.
