Fire Risk Assessments – What’s involved?

Fire Risk Assessments – what’s involved?

A major part of our work in the fire safety engineering sector is the high-level fire risk assessments which we carry out on several different existing buildings types.  They range from hospitals, warehouses, apartment blocks and dwelling houses.

A detailed on-site inspection is carried out to identify sub-standard fire safety risk items and includes the following visual inspections:

• Passive fire protection (compartmentation, fire walls etc.)
• Active fire protection (fire alarms, emergency lighting etc.)
• Means of escape (exit doors, travel distances etc.)
• Access and facilities for the fire service (vehicle access, hydrants etc.)
• Management/house keeping (fire register, fire wardens etc.)

On completing the above, a detailed fire risk assessment report is compiled, to include photos of our findings along with recommendations of any required upgrade or remedial works.
