Danish term or phrase: farlig nærhed
The opposite of a safe distance.

E.g. open flame must not be used within a distance of 5 m from buildings.

'må ikke anvendes i farlig nærhed - minimum 5 m - til andre bygninger'

The term is used all the time in Danish safety regulations and laws. Is there an equivalent in (UK) English fire safety jargon?
