Providing Cutting-Edge Solutions for Fire Protection Engineering Services and Audits

by Leonard Hill Fire Engineering Consultancy

A fire safety audit is conducted by trained fire safety consultants to ascertain how a building, be it commercial, industrial or residential, is being managed with respect to fire safety. A fire protection audit is performed to assess the effectiveness of fire extinguishing systems in the event of a fire outbreak. A fire and life safety audit demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to health and safety, highlights non-conformities, and brings security to a workplace by preventing the possibility of prosecution and litigation.

A fire protection audit can include the evaluation of a range of fire protection services, and can include the following:

·         Evaluating the fire risk in each operation and area of a building

·         Checking the adequacy of the sprinkler system, detention system and other operating parameters

·         Checking the adequacy of the fire detection and alarm (FDA) system with respect to relevant standards

·         Segregation of fire cables, facilities, and utilities

·         Assessment of the accessibility of extinguishers as per the regulations

·         Segregation of the emergency exit from the remaining facility

·         Assessing the requirement of the fire suppression system based on the fire risk and criticality of the equipment

·         Checking all portable fire extinguishers are adequate

·         Assessing the requirements of the passive fire protection system, such as cable pass sealants

·         System interface for fire doors and fire shutters

·         Assessment of emergency plan, evacuation plan, and fire mock-up drill records

Professional advice and recommendations on fire safety

Fire safety consultants have an important role to play in fire safety as they work to make your workplace or residential building safer for the occupants. They do this by conducting a fire protection audit and a fire risk assessment onsite, generating a report on building safety, and providing their professional advice and recommendations. The consultants will explain the potential areas in your building where a fire could start and suggest appropriate preventive measures. They will also advise you on the employer’s legal obligations to their staff.
