The 21RISK COPE information model is a structured approach used for risk assessment and management, particularly in the context of property insurance. "COPE" stands for Construction, Occupancy, Protection, and Exposure—the four critical factors evaluated in assessing risks associated with a property.
Welcome to the COPE risk information questionnaire.
You will be asked a range of questions relating to the specifics of your site and how fire safety is implemented within it.
Please elaborate on the questions in as much detail as possible including files and photos where applicable.
This information will be used to get a greater understanding of our collective risk exposure, and ensure proper insurance throughout the
Company Group
Please attach the siteplan as a file.
The siteplan must show detailed information of fire-seperations, -walls etc. as well as areas covered by sprinkler protection and Fire detection systems.
Please upload photos of the site and buildings.
You are welcome to use the comment field below to further information
Please indicate the number of buildings on the site
Please indicate the number of stories of the primary building
Please indicate the total floor area of all buildings combined
How many days a week does the site operate?
Questions related to the construction of the site
What year was the buildings constructed in?
If the site consists of several buildings please use the comment field to elaborate
Please chose construction materiale of the roof
Are solar (PV) panels installed on the roof of the building?
Please indicate which types of internal walls is in use within the buildings
Are there fire sections (doors rated at least 60 minutes protection) between areas of different occupancy
Are doors in fire sections provided with automatic closure mechanisms (nb: not fusible links)
Are cable and piping penetrations in firewalls closed with proper fire-resistant material
If production is chosen - please elaborate processes in the comment section below
Does the site have High-rack storages >3,7 meters.
If yes - please describe the height of the storage racks in comments below and attach a photo
Please answer the questions about fireload in storage
Does the facility store Lithium-Ion batteries
Are machinery operating whilst buildings are unmanned?
Are building shared with other occupants/tenants

Please confirm that in the future, the hot work permit here will be used when doing hot work
Designated Charging Area:
Ensure a separate, noncombustible shed is available for charging e-mobility devices, located at least 10 meters from any buildings.
The shed should be constructed from noncombustible materials and meet all relevant safety and building codes.
Provide adequate ventilation and temperature control within the shed to prevent overheating.
Ensure the shed is equipped with appropriate fire safety measures, including fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and fire-resistant materials.
Electrical Safety:
Ensure the electrical outlets in the shed are compliant with safety standards and are suitable for charging e-mobility devices.
Install surge protectors and circuit breakers to prevent electrical overloads.
Regularly inspect and maintain the electrical systems in the shed to ensure they are in good working condition.
Confirm that All charging of employee E-mobility devices is prohibited inside company buildings.
Confirm that the policy has been clearly communicated to employees, contractors etc.
