CONT

La dispersion des dépôts, magasins ou ateliers renfermant des substances ou des activités dangereuses est souhaitable mais elle rendrait le plus souvent l'entreprise difficilement exploitable. La division des bâtiments, en un nombre aussi grand que possible de parties distinctes, par des séparations coupe-feu soit horizontales, soit verticales, conduit tout naturellement à la réalisation à l'intérieur des bâtiments de «compartiments à l'épreuve du feu».
