Fire Safety in Car Parks – Briefing Note

17th January 2018

In view of recent events, the S2 Partnership’s team of fire safety experts has compiled a Briefing Note, which outlines the guidance available for car park operators and owners in terms of safety for occupants; prevention of the spread of fire and how to assist the fire service in their operation.

The briefing note focuses on current legislation regarding ventilation, compartmentation, fire precaution systems, and emergency procedures in line with the characteristics of the building.

Car parks are still covered by the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and therefore require a fire risk assessment, taking into account all the considerations identified within the Order. The document outlines the key fire safety elements associated with having a car park.
