How Oakleaf’s Approach to Fire Consultancy Can Improve Your Building’s Compliance

At Oakleaf we work with companies from a wide range of industries and sectors to ensure they are compliant with all of the relevant fire regulations, as well as helping to implement improvements that protect building users and the property.

As experts in the field of fire safety, Oakleaf help organisations to navigate the challenges of fire safety compliance and make essential improvements to protect building users. We provide several types of fire consultancy services to suit different business needs.

Here is an overview of some of the services we have to offer:

Fire and Smoke Damper Survey

We provide comprehensive surveys to help prevent fires from spreading throughout a building. We assess a building’s existing fire or smoke dampers to ensure that they comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 that states they must be in an efficient working order.

Dampers should be serviced annually, and visual inspections should be performed to identify any maintenance requirements. Our survey locates all fire and smoke dampers and records the location on CAD plans, which enables the building manager to arrange maintenance at the required intervals. We also identify ducts passing through compartment walls where dampers should be installed but have not, also adding these to CAD plans to allow the buildings manager to arrange the installation.

Fire Compartmentation Survey

Oakleaf provides surveys to ensure that adequate compartmentation exists in buildings to help prevent the spread of fire and comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Our services include formulating specifications at the design stage, as well as on-site inspections. We assess materials, identify any damage and inspect the overall condition of the existing fire compartments.

Fire Risk Assessments – Property Risk

Another expert service we offer is a Fire Risk Assessment for property risk. This involves a comprehensive assessment of fire risk to a property, reviewing fire safety systems and recommending areas for improvement. Our recommendations will help to ensure organisations are fully compliant with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Fire Training

In addition to these fire consultancy services, we provide fire training for employees to ensure that they have appropriate knowledge to ensure their safety and to protect the building and assets . We can provide training as part of an employee induction process, as well as periodic repeat training. Oakleaf Fire Training can be tailored to your organisation’s requirements, including fire warden and fire extinguisher training courses.

All of the Oakleaf Fire Consultancy services are performed by fully qualified experts in their field, and we provide flexible solutions, enabling clients to tailor our services to specifically meet their needs.

Fire safety is an element of buildings management that you cannot afford to take any risks with, which is why it is better to seek the expertise and guidance of fully qualified fire consultants.
