Fire Surveys and Fire Protection

Fire safety surveys are essential for businesses to ensure the protection of their employees and assets. These surveys involve a thorough examination of the premises, including the layout, potential hazards, and activities being carried out, in order to identify potential fire risks. By conducting these surveys, businesses can implement necessary precautions and procedures to minimize the threat of fire.

Previously, fire safety surveys were conducted by the Fire Brigade, who then issued fire safety certificates to show compliance. However, there has been a shift in responsibility, requiring businesses themselves to demonstrate that they have taken adequate measures to reduce fire risks and establish proper escape plans for individuals present on their premises. This change emphasises the importance of proactive fire safety management within organisations.

SMDT specialise in conducting fire surveys for businesses of all sizes. Our team of experienced fire safety professionals will visit your premises and conduct a comprehensive examination to identify potential fire risks. Based on the findings of the fire survey, SMDT will provide businesses with a detailed report outlining any areas of concern and recommendations for improving fire safety measures. This may include suggestions for upgrading fire detection and alarm systems, installing additional fire extinguishers or sprinkler systems, implementing better emergency evacuation plans, or providing further fire safety training to employees.
