The ground floor: The first floor:
café area customer/staff toilet facilities
kitchen broom cupboard
store room office
staff room.
- Customers only have access to the café area and toilet facilities.
- On the ground floor there are fire exits at the front and rear of the building, whilst the first floor only has one leading to an external fire escape.
- Make a fire action notice for staff that would list the things you would expect them to do in the instance of a fire.
