Fire Surveys and Fire Protection

Fire Surveys

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.

Fire Protection

In addition to conducting fire surveys, businesses must also focus on implementing effective fire protection measures to minimise the potential for fires and mitigate their impact if they do occur. Fire protection encompasses a range of strategies and systems that work together to prevent, detect, control, and suppress fires.

 

One crucial aspect of fire protection is having appropriate fire detection and alarm systems in place. These systems can quickly identify the presence of smoke or heat and alert occupants of the building, allowing them to evacuate promptly. It is essential for businesses to regularly test and maintain these systems to ensure they are functioning correctly.

 

Another vital component of fire protection is the installation and maintenance of suitable fire suppression equipment such as fire extinguishers or sprinkler systems. These devices can help contain and extinguish fires in their early stages, preventing them from spreading and causing extensive damage. Regular inspections and servicing of fire suppression equipment are necessary to ensure they are in proper working order.

 

SMDT also offers fire protection services to help businesses implement effective fire protection measures. Our team of experts can assist in the selection and installation of appropriate fire detection and alarm systems, as well as the maintenance and testing of these systems to ensure their reliability.
