Fire engineering / consultancy
The Risk and Safety Plus (RS+) division provides bespoke fire safety engineering and consultancy services, offering tailored solutions that prioritise both life safety and asset protection. From design and construction to post-occupancy management, our holistic approach ensures compliance with UK regulations while addressing the unique needs of each project.
​
A holistic approach to fire safety​
​
Fire safety engineering takes a broad, integrated perspective that encompasses building design, human behaviour, risk assessment, and asset protection. This comprehensive approach ensures that fire safety measures are not only compliant but also practical and effective in real-world scenarios. RS+ recognises that life safety and asset protection often overlap, with measures designed to safeguard lives—such as fire-resistant construction and effective evacuation routes—also preserving property and operational continuity. Conversely, protecting critical assets and infrastructure enhances life safety by ensuring safer evacuation and minimising risks during emergencies.
To support these goals, RS+ also provides tailored services to meet the specific needs of insurers and architects:
For insurers, we deliver clear and comprehensive documentation to demonstrate compliance with fire safety regulations and robust risk mitigation strategies. Our solutions include proactive measures to minimise business interruption risks, such as enhanced compartmentation and fire-resilient materials, alongside detailed fire safety management plans and record-keeping systems to ensure transparency and accountability.
For architects, we offer early-stage design consultations to embed fire safety within the architectural vision while ensuring regulatory compliance. Our support extends to developing evacuation and accessibility plans tailored to diverse occupant needs and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to align fire safety measures with the broader project objectives.
For additional insights into business continuity and contingency planning related to insurance requirements, we recommend referring to ROAR services. This resource provides valuable guidance for organisations looking to enhance resilience and operational continuity.
