For new and altered buildings the fire safety strategy is usually developed during the design phase of the project. We can work with you to truly understand the objectives of your project and the completed building to create the best solution for you.
A good fire strategy should set a clear framework for fire safety and is usually based around showing compliance with the fundamental objectives of the applicable fire safety legislation, business and property protection objectives and insurers' requirements.
A fire safety strategy should include: the means of warning and escape; likely pathways of internal and external fire spread; access and facilities for the fire service; along with the fire safety management requirements for the building.
A fire strategy can prove invaluable for due diligence purposes and where requirements for a strategic approach in managing fire risk need to be considered in a wider business context. It is also important that the fire strategy is widely accepted by the ongoing business and that the recommendations are adhered to on a day-to-day basis. We can help you communicate the importance of this strategy to your stakeholders and ensure this ongoing commitment.
