Fire Compartmentation Surveys
A fire compartmentation survey assesses the value and potential of a property’s existing fire compartment walls, layout, and surroundings to help restrict the spread of fire and smoke in the event of an emergency.
Why it is required
According to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it is your responsibility to maintain the fire protection components within a building. You must ensure that they are in efficient working order and in good repair. You may be recommended a fire compartmentation survey following a Fire Risk Assessment that identifies numerous breaches in fire compartment walls, ceilings and floors.
To fulfil this requirement, a fire compartmentation survey can identify any issues related to walls, ceilings, voids, and layouts that don’t meet legal fire safety requirements. The survey will also provide recommendations to help you implement fire protection measures.
Who is Responsible
In most circumstances, the owner, employer, or occupier of the premises is responsible for ensuring and maintaining correct fire safety and procedures. This person is known as the “responsible person” in the Order. The responsible person must implement appropriate fire safety measures to minimise the risk to life from fire.
Our Fire Compartmentation Survey
A fire compartmentation survey with us will include looking into roof spaces, floor voids, behind boxing and more. Essentially, any space into which a fire can spread will be identified and a fire compartmentation survey will provide resultant fire protection recommendations and help to create fireproofing solutions, or in more serious circumstances, obligatory instructions that must be adhered to by law to keep your property/business compliant with fire safety law.
