Assembly buildings - fire risk assessment:

Common faults found in assembly buildings are:

• Combustible items left in protected routes or bedroom corridors
• Locked exits
• Exits obstructed by stored goods
• Faulty fire doors, for example large gaps between double doors
• Insufficient staff training so that the staff are uncertain of what their actions should be in an evacuation
• Fire alarm and emergency lighting system not routinely tested by the staff
• Rooms or buildings filled with guests to over capacity - no proper record of how many people are in the room or building
