Display materials and decorations
You should evaluate what material could ignite
first and what would cause the fire to develop
and spread, and assess how materials used in
temporary or permanent displays would interact
with surface linings and position them accordingly.
In particular, displays such as paper, textiles or
other flimsy materials should not be located in
stairways or corridors. However, such materials
may be acceptable in other locations if treated
with an appropriate fire-retardant product.
Staff information should be confined to
appropriately located display boards in areas
away from escape routes. Display boards may
be used on escape routes as long as they are
no bigger than 1m or have been enclosed in
a sealed display case.
