• Important: A copy of this FRA must be be put into the corresponding depot folder within the employee portal, and must be updated each time the assessment is reviewed. Only the most current version of the FRA should be in the folder.

• This is a plan of the site which details where sources of ignition exist and combustible materials are stored. Detail storage of gas, emergency shut off valves, fuel tanks, chemicals etc.

• Notes

• DSEAR risk assessments are required where there are explosive atmospheres. Examples are spray paint workshops and gas vehicle sites. Seek advice from the HSE Business Partner to answer the next question. BeSafe@firstbus.co.uk

• Does this site require a DSEAR risk assessment for explosive atmospheres?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• If the answer to the above is yes, a DSEAR risk assessment must be carried out by expert assessors.

• It is a legal requirement to display the fire emergency evacuation procedures around the site and in strategic location. In a panic, people forget what to do and don't always think rationally. Sounding the alarm first is what we want them to do and aid escape for everyone.

  

• Fire signage. Fire signs must be ordered through SAP and be to the British or European standards currently displayed in the majority of the site.
  
  Ever since the introduction of the EEC Directive (EEC/92/58) in 1992, the sign industry has been in confusion and uncertainty spread amongst those who needed to specify fire signs.
  There are broadly two main types of emergency exit route and final exit signs in use in the UK. One, commonly referred to as ‘Euro sign’ was based on the EEC Directive (EEC/92/58) and one was based on the British Standard BS 5499: Part 1.
  The British one shows the stick person in the doorway, the European shows the stick man running towards the doorway. both mean the same thing, fire escape route.

  

• If the sign has an arrow it is showing the escape route to be taken. Make sure your arrows are facing the correct direction.

  

• If the door is the final exit out of the building, there will be no arrow, just the stick person in the door and the word Fire Exit

  

• Fire doors are there for a reason. they compartmentise the building to limit the spread of fire. They must be marked as a fire door.

  

• Fire doors are installed to stop the spread of fire within buildings, however, fire doors can only fulfil this vital role, if they are closed when the fire starts. To this purpose fire doors are equipped with fire door closers, which close the door after a person passed through the door.
  
  However, it is not always practical to have your fire doors closed at all times as this can hamper the movement of people and equipment around your premises. Corridors experiencing high footfall are especially likely to need a means of allowing fire doors to be held open to enable people to pass through or for air to circulate. It is therefore all too common to see a fire door wedged open, preventing the fire door from doing its job in the event of a fire. This is not just dangerous, it is also illegal and can lead to large fines.
  
  These days, there are devices available that allow fire doors to be held open legally. Fire door retainers hold the doors in the open position (against the pressure from the door closer) and release the door in the case of a fire, allowing the door closer to shut the door. Free-swing fire door closers, a further alternative, allow fire doors to be used like ordinary doors but will turn into a door closer the moment the fire alarm is triggered.

  

• In addition to above, fire doors are recognizable by the amount of hinges usually 3 means its a fire door. they are heavier than normal doors and can hold back a fire from 30 minutes upwards dependent upon the grade purchased. Do not put letter boxes, or holes in a fire door. Always make sure fire doors have a label on them saying "Fire door keep shut" as above image. The door should also have a self closer or spring so that it closes unaided. If you see a fire dire slightly ajar, it will need attention to tighten the self closer to shut snuggly in the door frame or adjust the hingers for a better fit.

  

• On the outside of a fire door, this sign must be displayed so that no-one obstructs the door. NEVER lock a fire door. Do not store waste bins or park vehicles behind the door. From the inside the door needs to push outwards and there must be a fire exit sign above the door. There must be instructions displayed on how to open the door. so for example "push bar to open"

  

• In a big depot, its not always easy to see where the fire extinguishers are. so a sign like this can be positioned high up (go big) and help people see above the bus roof (imagine if all buses parked in depot) exactly where the fire extinguishers are for access.

  

• Same as above

  

• Fire extinguishers should be clearly labelled to show what type they are.

  

• As with fire extinguishers its important that the alarm push points are clearly labelled for people to find them. So think big again, place them large and high up to direct people to the nearest point in an emergency.

  

• Lifts must have this sign outside of them. Its possible in a fire for the building to lose power. Being trapped in a lift with no power can be life threatening with risks from smoke and failure.

  

• Its important people know where to go for their fire assembly point and muster. Signs inside the depot should detail where it is and signs at the assembly point should be clearly displayed to help direct people to them.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Fire escape stairs need to be visually checked for obvious signs of rusting and corrosion. This can be done by internal staff, however it is recommended experts are brought in every 5 years to inspect the external staircases even when in good condition. Where corrosion is a risk this can be more frequent. Any recommendations from those inspections for repair MUST be carried out in a timely way. Where repairs have been carried out, inspections should be more frequent and based on the experts advise. (Keep a record of the approximate age of the staircase)
