Before considering hazards and precautions it is important to establish the level of life risk within the building, and in particular to identify any unusual problems.
Asses s the occupants and identify if there are any life risk problems.
Mobility Risk - where a high proportion of the occupants are disabled, have their mobility impaired, have learning difficulties, are elderly, or are very young. As there will be some disabled people in every building this is only relevant when the percentage with mobility impairment is greater than that in the normal population. Where the premises are likely to be used for different activities, leading to different levels of life risk then it may be necessary to undertake separate risk assessments. This will be particularly the case where premises might be subject to license applications for specific events.
