What Could Burn?

Identify fuel sources

Walk every area of your premises and look for materials that could catch fire or help it spread.

What to look for

1

Paper, cardboard, packaging materials

2

Furniture, curtains, carpets, and soft furnishings

3

Flammable liquids — cleaning products, paints, solvents

4

Electrical equipment and wiring

5

Waste and rubbish build-up

6

Stock or stored goods in large quantities

7

Wooden fixtures, fittings, and structural elements

Pro Tip

"Be honest — even a cluttered storeroom or a pile of cardboard near a heater is a real risk. Report what you actually see, not what you wish was there."

In your assessment

Look for the 'Ignition & Fuel Sources' section in your fire risk assessment.
