Hi All, I am looking for some advise on fire safety in a multi occupancy industrial unit. We have an industrial unit measuring arppox 150M long and 50m wide (Unit A). Currently we have a tenant that only rents the back half of the unit leaving the front half empty free and unrented. Another tenant in a different unit has asked to rent a section of the free space in unit A with a 3rd proposed tenant asking to rent a section of the free space left in the middle. There is an access path way that runs centrally through the unit and currently the unit is open plan. To comply with the fire regs is there a requirement to build a separating fire wall between each tenants rented space. Hopefully I have explained this enough any more info required let me know. Your assistance is much appreciated.

Agree with David. Just to add, insurers will rate to the highest risk occupany if no fire breaks (or less than 2 hours) are in place. So if you have 2 office type businesses and a woodworker, the offices will pay over the odds for fire insurance. Don't forget the need to co-ordinate and share information under the RRFSO.
