What Does Our Full Fire Risk Assessment Include?
Site Survey
We start with a floor-by-floor sweep. Hot-desk bays, acoustic pods, podcast studios, espresso bars, battery lockers, and rooftop terraces all get logged. Ignition sources—solder irons in maker corners, 3-D printers, fondue pots on community night—pair with fuel loads like foam booths, pallet walls, and cardboard merch stock. Every observation is photo-tagged and pinned to your CAD plan so maintenance can hunt the exact bean-bag berth hiding a daisy-chained extension block. We also time “moderate shuffle” drills around crowded corridors to check whether that lush ivy wall narrows the escape route past BS 9999 thresholds.
Fire Alarm Inspection
Shortcuts stop here. We pole-test 15 percent of detectors across general areas and 100 percent in critical spaces such as comms racks or nap pods. Mains power is killed to prove batteries last 24 hours plus a full 30-minute alarm. Sound mapping targets 65 dB across open tables and 75 dB at pillow height in any snooze pod—quiet doesn’t equal silent. The fault log downloads on site, and cryptic codes transform into plain English before we leave.
Emergency Lighting Testing
A three-hour battery discharge shows exactly which fittings quit after twelve minutes. Lux readings drop to spreadsheet cells, capturing odd nooks where beanbags gather. Every luminaire earns an asset tag and is plotted on your plan so the caretaker isn’t left wandering with a ladder next month.
We measure 3 mm gaps, test intumescent seals for paint, and make sure sliding glass meets FD30S ratings. Magnetic holds on meeting-room doors release during the alarm test; no “oops” excuses. Above the suspended ceiling we trace partitions to ensure smoke can’t crawl from podcast booth to pantry through a forgotten cable slot.
Risk Evaluation & Action Plan
Findings land in a Red-Amber-Green grid. Red (7 days) might mean blocked exits behind stacked monitors or a missing detector in the VR lab. Amber (30 days) flags expired extinguishers or half-dead emergency lights. Green (90 days) suggests best-practice tweaks like relocating lithium storage to a ventilated cage. Cost bands (< £250, £250 – £999, £1 000+) help finance approve work without a marathon meeting.
Digital Compliance Pack
Paper folders wander; cloud folders don’t. You receive a password-protected PDF bundle: FRA, alarm cert, lighting log, and floor overlays linked to photo evidence. Pre-filled log-book templates let your staff tick and sign instead of start from scratch. Share links mean landlords, insurers, or fire officers can grab what they need without cluttering your inbox.
