Premises Information Plate

PREMISES INFORMATION PLATE

Following the publication of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 1 report, it is recommended that the owner and manager of every high-rise residential building be required by law to provide their local fire and rescue services with up-to-date plans of every floor of the building identifying the location of key fire safety systems.

In Scotland, the government publication Practical fire safety guidance for existing high rise domestic buildings calls for a Premises Information Plate to be installed on all existing high rise domestic buildings.

A Premises Information Plate (PIP) should be sited externally on high rise buildings, to assist attending Fire & Rescue services. These plates display relevant information on the layout of the building, its services and firefighting facilities in a clear and easily understood manner.

Premises Information Plate is correctly oriented and marked with a ‘You Are Here’ and supplemented with adjacent road names. Key firefighting facilities are displayed using clear, simple icons. Required hose lengths are displayed indicating, for example, the requirements to reach the furthest point of a flat from the dry riser or to reach the dry riser from the Hydrant. These are displayed as 1L (1 hose length), 2L etc.

The Premises Information Plate is digitally printed onto a 600mm x 600mm aluminium panel , and is intended for display externally for the attending Fire & Rescue service.
