Fire Risk Assessments and Inspections
Our engineers conduct detailed fire risk assessments, evaluating hazards, ignition sources, and potential fire spread within a facility. Further more we provide recommendations to mitigate risks, improve fire safety measures, and ensure compliance with industry regulations. Regular inspections help identify and rectify vulnerabilities before they lead to serious incidents.
- Hazard Identification – Inspect premises for ignition sources, flammable materials, and risk factors.
- Risk Analysis & Report – Document vulnerabilities and suggest corrective measures.
- Safety Upgrades – Implement recommended improvements to enhance fire resilience.
Four Types of Fire Risk Assessment
a) Type 1: Basic Fire Safety Assessment: A general inspection that identifies fire hazards, evaluates escape routes, and ensures compliance with basic fire safety regulations. This is typically conducted in low-risk environments such as small offices and residential buildings.
b) Type 2: Detailed Fire Risk Assessment: A more in-depth analysis that includes fire load calculations, structural fire resistance checks, and testing of fire safety systems. Suitable for high-occupancy buildings, commercial properties, and industrial sites.
c) Type 3: Occupancy-Specific Fire Risk Assessment: Focuses on fire risks related to specific building uses, such as healthcare facilities, factories, or schools. It ensures that fire safety measures align with industry-specific hazards and regulatory requirements.
d) Type 4: Post-Incident Fire Risk Assessment: Conducted after a fire incident to analyze the causes, assess damage, and recommend preventive measures. This assessment helps improve fire response strategies and reduce the likelihood of future fire outbreaks.
