Planning, policy and pragmatism

For most businesses the core requirement is a good fire risk assessment, carried out by a competent person who knows what they are looking at! Fire safety is a specialised area and general safety practitioners are often not qualified to carry out a comprehensive assessment.
You’ll find the RS+ team are highly qualified – right up to Fire Engineer level – with hands on experience over many years of dealing with fire and its prevention.
In addition to fire risk assessments you can access professional consultancy on:
- Policy formulation
- Fire strategy reviews
- Fire issues relating to building regulations for new builds
- Response to enforcement authorities, either as an intermediary to assist in developing a cohesive agreed set of protocols for fire safety or to assist in fighting unfair enforcement action
- Specific surveys – for instance signage surveys, surveying the technical aspects of fire equipment, reviewing alarm systems in specialist locations such as hospitals.
- Asset protection strategies – e.g. IT equipment rooms, valuable archives or precious artefacts.
- Smoke modelling – computer modelling to plan how fire behaves using virtual reality. This includes assessment of the people using the environment, the speed of movement, size of fire and travel distances to exits.
- Expert witness services where legal action has taken place as a result of a fire or fire safety issues.
If you need some advice and guidance from an experienced expert you’ll find the Risk and Safety Plus team are pragmatic, practical and down-to-earth – with a strong aversion to the ‘cotton wool’ approach. You’ll get what you need to keep you, your people and your property safe – and meet the compliance requirements too.
