Fire risk Assessments

To help our clients develop efficient fire safety plans, we can carry out fire risk assessments to assess the risk of fire in your properties. We also provide guidance and advise on how best to protect your assets and people from fire. Our advice ensures that our clients comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.

Our assessments focus on the following main issues:

• identify potential causes of fire;
• identify people at risk;
• evaluate current fire safety measures provided/required to protect people (e.g. escape routes, fire alarm systems and fixed and portable firefighting provisions);
• review the arrangement for the management of fire safety (e.g. fire procedures, staff training and fire drills and maintenance of fire safety systems);
• record significant findings and, if necessary, recommend an action plan; and
• monitor the assessment and update as required.

Based on the risk rating identified, we can develop deficiency action plans to create a comprehensive roadmap of actions required. Regardless of the risk rating, completion due dates can be added so clients can plan and organise the work.

We keep our Fire Risk Assessment Reports clear and concise, so they are easy to understand, with clear instructions.

Fire Engineering Consultancy services

Our team of fire engineers work with our clients to ensure that their buildings not only comply with the relevant legislation but also provide a safe environment in the most cost-effective manner, without compromising the architectural integrity of the designs.

Fire protection is one of the most important investments a company can make in defending its business and its people from the destruction that fire causes. The development of an integrated fire safety strategy will identify areas of risk and assist in eliminating the root causes of danger. Our fire engineering team believes that our clients deserve the best, and so we ensure that each building complies with safety guidance in the most cost-effective way, using the most advanced fire engineering techniques.

Our expertise in the design and development of active fire protection systems is well known throughout the industry and is used to ensure that the fire protection systems are integrated with the building services, thus minimising the impact of these services on the design. Our fire engineers will lead the negotiation process to secure the necessary approvals and to provide a building that meets all of the relevant statutory requirements without compromising the aesthetics or the functionality of the building.
