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
Paper, cardboard, packaging materials
Furniture, curtains, carpets, and soft furnishings
Flammable liquids — cleaning products, paints, solvents
Electrical equipment and wiring
Waste and rubbish build-up
Stock or stored goods in large quantities
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.
