Flammable room installed:
General construction specs of flammable liquid/solid storeroom include (but are not limited to) as
per the General Safety Regulations of 1986, section 4 (in addition to the Emergency By-laws Part
6):
1.The floor of the flammable store must consist of concrete.
2.The flammable store walls must be constructed of a material that has a fire resistance of at
least 120 minutes.

minutes or any other non-combustible material if the flammable store is not situated within 5
meters of any structure.
4.The flammable store must be sunken or must have a bund wall to prevent spills from leaking
out of this room. This installation must be able to contain at least 110% capacity, to a maximum
height of 450mm of the total quantity of flammables stored within.
5.The entrance must have a fire door and locks/s installed as per South African National
Standards, with all appropriate signage displayed on the outside.
6.Any flammable store with a length of 4m or more, must have two approved fire doors installed
as far as practical from each other.
7.Any flammable store door must be capable of being easily opened from the inside of the store,
without the use of a key.
8.A certificate of registration for the flammable store must be easily visible on the outside of an

12. All electrical wiring, lighting, etc installed within the flammable store must be intrinsically safe.
There must be no electrical plug points within the flammable store and all electrical installations
are to comply with the South African National Standards and are required to be installed by an

PML (MPL) / EML:

Definitions
Probable Maximum Loss
The maximum loss that could occur when the most unfavourable circumstances combine, and
when, as a consequence, the fire is not fought against at all, or not satisfactorily fought against,
and is therefore only stopped by impassable obstacles or by lack of physical property.
Estimated Maximum Loss
The extent of the fire likely to occur in the normal course of events based on the activity,
occupancy, and fire protection of the range of buildings concerned. Unusual circumstances
(accidental or extraordinary) likely to modify the circumstances of the risk are not taken into
consideration.
Existing interruption control plan/system (if any):

Simplicity of obtaining/replacing/repairing plant and machinery and stock after a loss:

Some machinery is imported with most bought from local competitors.
Stock can be manufactured, but it will take time to replace machinery if local suppliers haven't got stock of
equipment and must be imported.

Target and/or subdivision risk in fire areas:

The inspected factory and storage area is the target area and communicated internally throughout.
