Independent assurance that your fire-safety arrangements work in practice
Our fire safety audits look beyond individual physical precautions to consider how fire safety is being managed across your organisation or premises — reviewing arrangements, records, responsibilities and implementation to identify gaps and provide clear priorities for improvement.
Fire Safety Audits
A fire safety audit steps back from a single assessment to review how fire safety is being managed across your organisation or premises. We review arrangements, records, responsibilities and implementation — detection and warning, means of escape, compartmentation, equipment, training and records. The output is a prioritised set of findings — not a simple pass or fail, and not just another fire risk assessment.

Common questions
Is an audit a pass or fail?
No. We rate findings as conforming, improvement opportunity, action required or high priority — unless the audit method actually operates on a pass/fail basis, which we would confirm in advance.
