Under the Fire Safety Order all workplaces and buildings accessible to the public need to have a Fire Risk Assessment. All businesses and organisations must manage fire safety within their buildings, including communal areas of residential buildings.

We can carry out a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment and ensure you are legally compliant.

We offer different levels of Fire Risk Assessment. This keeps costs down for smaller employers and charitable organisations, and can be suitable for larger organisations with more complex buildings or portfolios.

We are experienced in helping organisations manage Fire Risk Assessments in multiple buildings across single sites, or across towns, cities, or even nationwide. We carry out Fire Risk Assessments across most sectors, including educational premises (residential, Independent, Academies and local authority), HMOs, tower blocks, sheltered housing, social housing, care homes, offices, shops, warehousing, chemical plants (up to top tier COMAH). It is very likely we will have experience in the area you need assessed.

We can support and guide you through ensuring you meet the requirements of the Fire Safety Order and advise on changes or additions as necessary. We also have extensive experience working with a variety or local Fire and Rescue Services as well as via the Primary Authority scheme.

If we come to your site we will carry out a thorough audit of the paperwork relating to Fire Safety, and a physical inspection of the site. This will enable us to create a report which will not only identify any actions or control measures that should be implemented to improve the fire safety of the premises and keep you and your employees safe, plus anyone else who uses the building, but also give you a document that you can show to visiting Fire and Rescue Service personnel and prove you are complying with the law.

We can also help you complete any actions or controls that are identified in the assessment, especially if they are policy related, or certainly give you advice on how to attain the level of fire safety aimed for.

We can also offer basic timber frame mitigation assessment reports for timber frame buildings under construction.
