Intent
Intent 1: 
To increase the limit on the height of storage for baled combustible fibres specified in Clause 3.2.6.4.(1)(b) if the storage consists of baled raw pulp.
This is to limit the probability that:
  • stored products will collapse prematurely during firefighting operations, which could lead to the obstruction of aisles, which could lead to delays in the egress of emergency responders, which could lead to harm to emergency responders, and
  • stored products will collapse prematurely in a fire situation,which could lead to the spread of fire, which could lead to harm to persons, including emergency responders.
