With our experience and expertise, LE Group can work with you to produce a fire safety strategy designed to protect your business. Our expert fire strategy consultants have worked with many large organisations to produce strategies which align to their specific business objectives and needs.
We review:
• applicable legislation and its impact • building description including layout and materials • fire compartmentation, including protection to escape routes. • means of warning and escape in case of fire • fire evacuation strategy • emergency lighting • fire safety signage • impact of linings and structure on internal fire spread. • external fire spread and protection of boundaries. • access and facilities for the fire and rescue service • smoke ventilation and fire suppression • security and protection against the threat of arson • fire safety management arrangements including staff training, inspection and review requirements.
COMPARTMENTATION SURVEYS
The objective of fire compartmentation is to prevent the spread of smoke and fire. By subdividing the building, we can protect escape routes, high risk or high- value areas and prevent extensive losses. A suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment will typically involve a review of existing fire compartment measures. However, the scope of a fire risk assessment will not extensively cover every area or item of fire compartmentation and a more detailed survey may sometimes be recommended. Sampling can indicate the presence of significant issues, such as locating or confirming the presence of fire dampers or establishing if existing measures meet the requirements of current guidance or to meet other specific business resilience objectives.
