Partnering with a fire safety consultancy can be extremely beneficial for those working in the commercial sector.
They have partnered with several large organizations across a range of sectors to assist them with their fire risk management. Here’s how the fire safety consultancy could help them.
Review fire risk assessments & manage actions
For organizations that are responsible for a large portfolio of properties, it can sometimes be difficult
For organizations that are responsible for a large portfolio of properties, it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of the requirements of each individual building.
They currently conduct an average of 2000-2500 fire risk assessments each year and are proud to have been certificated for Life Safety Fire Risk Assessments under the BAFE SP 205 scheme.
Plus, they’ve developed a completely bespoke fire risk management software, Aurora, that has revolutionized how significant findings are allocated tasks, and how actions are prioritized and completed.
Review building plans & regulations
Do they need fire safety checks completed before construction takes place? They can review building plans before they are submitted to the building control body, in order to make sure that they comply with building regulations from a fire safety perspective.
This gives they peace of mind plus could save them money in the long-run. This service is also applicable to any changes to existing buildings that require approval.
Review existing fire safety documentation
As part of the fire safety partnership, they will review the existing documentation and procedures before confirming if they provide the correct level of information and detail in order to be compliant.
If they don’t, they will provide the recommendations to ensure they are up to code.
Provide pre-occupancy checks
Once occupied, they can provide a fire risk check as is legally required under the Fire Safety Order
If they require pre-occupancy fire safety checks for properties under their control, they can carry out a site survey that focuses on the building from a fire safety standpoint.
They will make the checks and provide a report that will be ready for review a few weeks before completion/handover of the premises where it will outline whether or not the premises are safe for occupation. Once occupied, they can provide a fire risk assessment as is legally required under the Fire Safety Order.
Provide an ongoing partnership
A fire safety consultancy should be a true extension of the business, and that’s what they are. They help them overcome any difficulties associated with fire safety regulations, ensuring they’re always compliant and assisting them every step of the way.
By partnering with fire safety consultants, they can have every aspect of the fire safety covered by the same company, so nothing ever gets missed, and they’re not starting from square one every time. At Total Fire group, they get to know them and their business, which makes the ongoing partnership so successful.
