A Fire Risk Assessment (or Fire Safety Audit) involves an inspection of your premises, and a review of your fire safety documents, such as fire detection and alarm system servicing certs etc.
We examine all areas of your building, particularly higher fire risk areas, such as Plant Rooms or Kitchens, to determine if there are fire safety deficiencies or hazards. The most common issues found are usually related to fire doors or holes in fire rated walls that are not properly sealed (i.e. fire-stopping) – but there can be many areas of fire safety that are overlooked during the day-to-day running of premises.
So, our audits aim to identify such issues and then work with you on how best to rectify these and improve the overall fire safety of your building. Clients are often amazed at how simple some solutions are and how easily they can be implemented.
There are many situations where you might require a Fire Risk Assessment/Fire Safety Audit of your premises, regardless of what type of premises you have (Shop, Office, Apartments, Industrial units, Residential Care Facilities, Schools etc):

Whatever the reason for your audit - whether a Fire Safety Audit is required anyway because of your type of business, or if you think an inspection might be useful - give us a call!
