The importance of fire risk assessment in retail fire protection

Retail premises are full of people who need to be evacuated in the event of a fire and valuable assets that require protection.

However, retail premises are often full of flammable materials such as clothing and common fire risks, including electrical equipment, which may make them a high-risk area for fire.

Our teams can carry out fire risk assessments and advise on the following;

Escape routes

Should a fire break out, safe evacuation of staff and customers is a priority.

Our experienced teams can advise on escape routes and emergency lighting to enable safe and speedy evacuation.

Fire safety equipment

The most common fire safety equipment used in retail fire protection are fire alarms and fire extinguishers.

Fire alarms contain sensors that are triggered by heat or can be activated manually. We can connect fire alarms to our bespoke sprinkler systems to protect your business.

We can advise on the strategic placement of fire extinguishers to ensure that they are available to deal with small and localised fires.

Armstrong Priestley sprinklers for the retail sector

Our automatic sprinklers are activated by heat and immediately begin to control fire with flame-suppressing agents like water mist, dispersed chemicals or gases.

When designing sprinkler systems for a retail business, we ensure the following;

The sprinklers contain an agent like water mist or inert gas that is safe to breathe and doesn’t make it challenging to find escape routes.
The sprinklers are strategically located to provide the highest protection standards in every context.
There are enough sprinklers to protect the entire building.
