Fire & life safety
A fire in a warehouse is also a production risk, an insurance conversation and a board question. We assess fire risk as it actually is on site: ignition sources, fuel, escape routes, detection, suppression and the people who would have to respond. Findings are referenced to NFPA and to the local code that applies.
What you receive
Concrete outputs you can use the day they arrive. Scope and format are agreed in the proposal.
- 01 Fire risk assessment report with graded findings
- 02 Means-of-escape and occupancy review
- 03 Detection, alarm and suppression adequacy review
- 04 Housekeeping, storage and hot-work control recommendations
- 05 Prioritised action plan tied to the local code and NFPA references
How we work on this
-
01
Understand the site
Drawings, occupancy, fuel load and history of fires and near misses.
-
02
Walk and test
Site walk of every area, with checks on escape routes, doors, detection and extinguishing equipment.
-
03
Assess
Grade each finding by likelihood and consequence and reference the requirement behind it.
-
04
Report and support
Action plan, walk-through with the site team and support until critical items close.
An example
Fire risk assessment of a distribution warehouse
Racking, storage height, sprinkler coverage and escape routes reviewed after a change of stored goods; the highest-scoring items were closed first. To be replaced with a real anonymised case.
Illustrative: shown to explain the format. It is not a client result.
Often combined with
- Combustible dust & process safety Dust explosion, self-heating and process fire risk in food, grain, starch and sugar operations.
- Emergency preparedness Emergency response plans, crisis structure, drills and the interface with civil defence and insurers.
- Risk & hazard assessment Site walks, incident history and interviews scored on one matrix: the real baseline, site by site.
