Service Riser Floor Fire Stop - what to look out for

Damage to a floor in a service riser is a common problem, caused by service penetrations passing through floors in a multiple floor building, which can allow for spread of fire and smoke throughout a building.

A typical example of a flawed service riser floor is shown below where multiple services have breached the floor, being specifically cables and busbars.
