Fire risk assessments in Warehousing, England & Wales
LRMS provides suitable and sufficient fire risk assessments for warehouses and logistics premises. Warehousing presents particular fire-safety challenges — high fire loads, storage heights, battery charging, MHE and large footprints. We assess hazards, people at risk, detection, compartmentation, escape and management arrangements — producing a prioritised action plan that supports safe operation and business continuity.
Why local Warehousing knowledge matters
Warehouse fire safety is governed by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 alongside HSE guidance on warehousing and storage. We understand the realities of logistics operations — high-bay storage, MHE activity, battery charging and shift patterns — and deliver proportionate assessments that reflect how warehouses actually operate. Where DSEAR applies, we can assess dangerous substances and explosive atmospheres as a related H&S service.
Fire risk assessments across Warehousing premises
We undertake fire risk assessments across commercial, residential and specialist premises. The scope and extent of the assessment is agreed according to the premises, occupancy, relevant fire safety legislation and the purpose of the assessment.

Warehousing fire risk assessment FAQs
Do you assess fire loading and storage heights?
Yes. We consider fire loading, storage heights, aisle widths and sprinkler protection where fitted as part of the warehouse fire risk assessment.
Can you assess battery charging areas?
Yes. Lithium and lead-acid battery charging areas are assessed for ventilation, separation from combustibles and emergency procedures.
Can you combine a warehouse FRA with a health and safety audit?
Yes. Where appropriate, we can deliver both in a single coordinated site visit — one consultant, one report cycle and one point of contact.
Do you cover DSEAR for warehousing?
Where dangerous substances or explosive atmospheres are present, we can undertake DSEAR assessments as a related health and safety service.
