Sectors
Fire Safety in High-Rise Buildings, Residential Properties, Assisted Living & HMOs
Domestic properties remain the most common locations for fire outbreaks, and when multiple dwellings are housed within a single building—such as blocks of flats, HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation), or assisted living facilities—the risk to life can increase significantly.
Recognising this elevated risk, fire safety regulations have been developed specifically to protect residents in these types of multi-occupancy environments. The goal is to deliver the same level of fire protection expected in single-family homes, but adapted to the complexity and scale of shared residential buildings.
These standards focus on compartmentation, fire-resistant construction, safe escape routes, and effective fire stopping measures to contain fire and smoke, safeguarding both occupants and emergency responders.
In high-density or limited-mobility settings—such as high-rise apartments, assisted living residences, and care homes—ensuring strict compliance with fire safety requirements is not just a regulatory necessity, but a critical part of protecting vulnerable lives.
Fire Safety for Commercial & Public Buildings
Owners, employers, and managers of commercial or public premises have a legal obligation to safeguard everyone who uses their buildings. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO), fire safety isn't optional—it's a statutory duty.
Every facility must undergo a comprehensive fire risk assessment, and a “Responsible Person” must be appointed to oversee and manage fire safety compliance. This individual bears full legal accountability and can face criminal prosecution if these responsibilities are neglected.
A key requirement under the FSO is that, in the event of a fire, everyone on the premises must be able to evacuate safely and without delay. This means ensuring escape routes are clear, fire doors function correctly, and that passive and active fire protection measures are fully operational.
Whether you're managing a busy office, a retail space, a hotel, or a manufacturing site, maintaining fire safety compliance is essential—not just for legal reasons, but to protect your people, your business, and your reputation.
Fire Safety in Educational Facilities
Offices | Industrial Sites | Restaurants | Retail | Hotels
If you're a headteacher, facilities manager, or have been appointed as the Responsible Person for fire safety within an educational environment, you hold a critical duty: ensuring the safety of all students, staff, and visitors from the risk of fire.
This responsibility includes maintaining both passive and active fire protection systems—such as fire doors, alarms, extinguishers, and compartmentation barriers—under a robust, ongoing inspection and maintenance programme.
Educational buildings often present unique challenges due to high occupancy levels, complex layouts, and the presence of vulnerable individuals. As such, fire safety strategies must be thorough, regularly reviewed, and aligned with the specific risks of the site.
Ongoing compliance with fire regulations not only meets your legal obligations but also demonstrates a proactive commitment to safeguarding lives within your institution.
Fire Safety in Hospitals & Care Homes
Schools | Colleges | Universities
In environments where vulnerable individuals and high occupancy levels are the norm, such as hospitals and care homes, fire safety must be treated as a top priority. With numerous staff, residents, and potential ignition sources, the risk is elevated—and so is the responsibility.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO), all healthcare and care facility operators must meet strict fire safety requirements designed to protect both people and property. However, the FSO isn’t a one-size-fits-all regulation—it requires a tailored approach, assessing the unique risks associated with each building and its occupants.
This means implementing site-specific fire strategies that address patient mobility, emergency evacuation protocols, and the reliability of both passive and active fire protection systems.
