Your%observation%sheet%should%be%used%to%collect%the%following%information:

• Fuel,%oxygen%and%ignition%hazards%(i.e.%petrol%stored%incorrectly)%x%20%(mix%of%all%three)• Hazards%that%may%contribute%to%smoke%and%fire%spread%(i.e.%poor%compartmentation)%%E

minimum%of%5• Hazards%that%may%present%a%risk%to%life%(i.e.%blocked%fire%exits)%– minimum%of%10• Existing%control%measures

*"Remember"that"you"should"not"have"the"same"hazard"twice"(i.e."blocked"exit"in"one"room"will"be"the"same"hazard"if"exit"is"blocked"in"another"room)."

It%is%often%easier%to%write%then%in%as%you%come%across%each%hazard.%If%you%wish%you%can%write%next%to%each%hazard%either:%FOI/spread/life).%This%will%be%helpful%when%you%come%to%transfer%the%information%to%your%forms.
