Fire Strategy

The basis for effective Fire Risk Assessments

If you own or manage a commercial building, or you’re a Responsible Person for fire safety in that building, it’s really important to understand how a Fire Strategy and a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) work together – and why you need both.

It can seem like a complex topic, and a Fire Strategy is indeed a very technical document, produced to both legacy and current British Standards. But critically, it informs the focus of your FRA and ensures its effectiveness.

And with our team of specialists, qualified in both Fire Strategy and FRA, we’re well placed to help you get both your Fire Strategy and FRA to where they need to be.

Fire Strategy: How can we help?

Our Fire Strategy services set out the areas your FRA should focus on, and those that may have become non-compliant as a result of change to your building’s layout and use over time.

These include, amongst others:

  • Fire detection, warning and escape routes
  • Fire spread, internal and external
  • Accessibility and facilities provided for the fire service
  • Details of occupancy levels permitted within the building
  • Means of escape, both vertical and horizontal
  • Levels of compartmentation (how long the spread of fire and smoke can be contained)

Prevention, remediation, compliance

At Commercial Fire Protection, our experienced team is fully qualified to develop and produce your building’s Fire Strategy, carry out FRAs against it (or any existing Fire Strategy), and complete any remedial works necessary to keep the building compliant.
