Safety distances between waste containers and buildings / CFPA 2022
ID 24469 | 23.08.2025 / CFPA-E Guideline No 7:2022 F in allegato
Many arson attacks target waste containers and other combustible objects located outside buildings.
These relatively innocuous fires too often develop into fires, which can cause significant personal injuries or property damage when they spread into buildings.
For this reason, it is necessary to give the owners and occupiers of premises some basic advice about ways to prevent these.
This guidance is based upon methods of calculation, which have developed from an analysis of fire investigations and empirical knowledge gained in such investigations.
In the prevention of arson, however, particular attention must also be paid to practical measures to thwart the arsonist, i.e. the fencing of the yard, the locking of areas and the removal of all combustible materials from the yard.
This guideline is primarily intended for those responsible for safety in companies and organisations.
It is also addressed to the rescue services, consultants, safety companies etc so that, in the course of their work, they may be able to help companies and organisations to increase the levels of fire safety.
