Fire Risk Assessment - Property Risk

• Cost of building replacement in the event of a total loss
• Loss of business
• Loss of reputation
• Cost of replacement equipment / machinery
• Cost of temporary accommodation

Once the above have been reviewed, it is then necessary to consider appropriate mitigating factors. This may require:

• Cost benefit analysis of new fire safety installations, e.g. suppression systems
• Review of the building to determine where fire compartment sizes can be reduced, in order to restrict fire spread
• Review of the management systems in place

Mitigating Factors that can be explored include:

• Upgrading the fire detection and alarm system
• Installation of suppression systems
• Further management controls

The overall aim of a property protection assessment is to reduce and manage the potential for extensive property loss in the event of fire.

• The development, implementation, and review of company-specific fire safety strategies
• Local authority licensing issues
• The protection of historic/heritage buildings
• Evaluation and supervision of fire drills
• Bespoke research projects including advice on international fire safety law for global institutions
