Fire Risk Assessments (FRA)
Fire Risk Assessments (FRA) are often the first crucial step towards compliance. A well-conducted FRA by competent assessors is vital for identifying potential fire hazards, protective measures to safeguard people, and preventive measures to reduce fire risks. Our FRAs are tailored to your specific business premises, ensuring a thorough evaluation.
Our assessors are members of the FPA and IFE, adhering to PAS79 guidance, the recognised British Standard as outlined by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. The comprehensive report we provide will help you navigate fire safety regulations and liaise with local authorities, fire safety officers, and other governing bodies.
Fire Compartmentation Surveys
Concept Fire Protection offers fully accredited, third-party inspections for fire doors and fire stopping compartmentation. Whether you need services for a single building or an entire estate, our expert teams conduct detailed surveys nationwide. We specialise in inspecting occupied buildings, providing the necessary information for maintaining passive fire safety and making informed decisions.
For those seeking a shorter-term solution, we offer Passive Fire Building Summaries. This service provides a sample written and photographic study of your building’s typical compartmentation, offering a cost-effective method to gauge the scale of fire stopping issues, especially under budget constraints. While this approach may not identify all possible issues, it is suitable for symmetrical floor residential and office properties.
Fire Engineering
Fire Engineering is crucial in construction projects, combining comprehensive fire safety approaches with an understanding of fire dynamics and human behaviour. Our team of highly qualified fire engineers provides both prescriptive and performance-based solutions across various sectors, including healthcare, education, commercial, industrial, and facilities management. Each project is treated individually, ensuring tailored and cost-effective fire safety engineering solutions that meet all current fire safety guidelines.
Fire Safety Strategy – Design and Retrospective
A Fire Safety Strategy is an essential document that outlines how a building should function in the event of a fire. It details all safety provisions and demonstrates compliance with Building Regulations. This strategy is crucial for safe occupancy and must be understood by all stakeholders involved with the building.
At Concept Fire Protection, we are dedicated to ensuring your building’s safety through tailored fire safety strategies and engineering solutions. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you achieve and maintain compliance.
Responsible Person
The Fire Safety Order designates a "responsible person" for fire safety, typically the owner, employer, or occupier of a building. This person must ensure that the premises meet all fire safety regulations.
Fire Risk Assessment
The responsible person must conduct a thorough fire risk assessment to identify potential hazards, assess the risk of those hazards, and implement measures to mitigate them. This assessment must be reviewed regularly and updated as necessary.
Fire Safety Measures
Based on the risk assessment, appropriate fire safety measures must be put in place. These can include:
-
Installing and maintaining fire detection and alarm systems.
-
Providing appropriate fire-fighting equipment, such as fire extinguishers.
-
Ensuring adequate means of escape, including emergency lighting and clearly marked escape routes.
-
Implementing measures for fire containment, such as fire doors and fire-resistant materials.
Training and Information
Employees and other occupants must be informed about fire safety measures and trained in emergency procedures. Regular fire drills are recommended to ensure preparedness.
Emergency Plans
An emergency plan must be prepared and communicated to all building occupants. This plan should include procedures for evacuation, identifying safe assembly points, and accounting for all individuals.
Maintenance and Record Keeping
Fire safety equipment and systems must be regularly maintained and tested. Records of these maintenance activities, as well as the fire risk assessments and training provided, should be kept.
