Helping You Take a Clearer View of Fire Safety Within Your Building
Fire safety management depends on understanding the risks within a premises and the effectiveness of the measures in place to control them. A professional fire risk assessment considers potential fire hazards, the people who may be affected and the precautions intended to prevent fire and support safe evacuation. By examining the individual circumstances of the building, the assessment can help Responsible Persons understand whether their current arrangements remain appropriate.
Safe I.S. provides professional fire risk assessments throughout Harlow for commercial properties, workplaces, residential developments, schools, healthcare settings, retail premises, hospitality venues and public buildings. Our experienced assessors consider how each premises is constructed, laid out and used, as well as its occupancy and existing fire safety arrangements. This enables us to assess the building on its individual merits rather than applying assumptions based solely on its property type.
Following the assessment, we provide a detailed written report setting out the significant findings and recommendations based on the risks identified. All of our fire risk assessors are registered with the National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR) at either Intermediate or Advanced level, while Safe I.S. is third-party accredited to BAFE SP205 as a Fire Risk Assessment Specialist. Combined with more than 15 years of fire safety experience, this provides clients with professional support backed by recognised competence and independent accreditation.
