Practical sector support

Fire safety shaped around your people, premises and operations

Control risk across stock, people and movement

Warehouses and logistics sites combine large quantities of goods with packaging, high-bay storage, conveyors, vehicles, battery charging and constant movement. Escape distances, fire loading and access for firefighters can change as stock and layouts evolve.

Fire Guard Services helps operational teams assess change, maintain warning and firefighting systems, train shift staff and address defects with work planned around throughput and access.

Fire safety services for Distribution & Logistics

Choose the support you need now, or ask us to help shape a coordinated programme of assessment, maintenance, remedial work and training around your premises and operating pressures.

Assess and plan

Understand risk, prioritise action and protect the fabric of each building.

Detect and alert

Maintain reliable warning, detection and security systems throughout the premises.

Equip and maintain

Keep essential equipment visible, serviceable and ready when it is needed.

Prepare and respond

Give building teams the confidence and resources to act effectively.

Practical compliance support

Turn responsibilities into coordinated action

The assessment should account for stored goods, packaging, hazardous materials, racking, automated equipment, vehicle movements and charging. Changes in stock, layout or process can alter risk and should trigger review of warning, escape, equipment and emergency arrangements.

We provide clear findings and practical next steps to help responsible persons coordinate staff, contractors and stakeholders. Requirements remain specific to the building and activity, so recommendations should be reviewed when people, layout, use or risk changes.

Read the relevant Government fire safety guidance.

What should a fire risk assessment for the distribution & logistics sector cover?

It should reflect the actual premises, people, activities and hazards rather than relying on a generic checklist. It should consider prevention, warning, escape, people needing assistance, maintained precautions, emergency arrangements and any sector-specific risks identified on site.

How often should fire risk assessments in the distribution & logistics sector be reviewed?

They must be kept under regular review and updated when there is reason to think an assessment is no longer valid, including after significant changes to the building, occupancy, activities, equipment or fire precautions, or following a fire or significant near miss.

Can Fire Guard Services support multiple sites in the distribution & logistics sector?

Yes. We can discuss coordinated assessment, servicing, training and remedial support across multiple premises while keeping the findings and requirements specific to each building.

Can visits be planned around normal distribution & logistics operations?

Yes. We can agree access and scheduling around occupants, opening hours, shifts and operational constraints. If work affects an active fire precaution, suitable temporary arrangements must be agreed by the responsible person.

Can you help with remedial work across distribution & logistics premises?

Where the work falls within our services, we can discuss practical remedial support and provide clear records of completed work. Any specialist items outside scope will be identified so the responsible person can appoint the appropriate competent provider.

I have been working at St Albans Girls' School for 15 years, and Fire Guard Services have always been our go to contractor for fire safety.

They have never given me a reason to look for an alternative contractor. May our strong relationship continue.
