Type 2 Fire Risk Assessment
At MAF Associates, we specialise in delivering expert Type 2 Fire Risk Assessments, focusing on the invasive inspection of fire compartmentation within the common areas of multi-occupancy buildings, such as blocks of flats. Our qualified fire engineers and skilled compartmentation technicians conduct comprehensive assessments to ensure resident safety and strict adherence to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
What is a Type 2 Fire Risk Assessment?
A Type 2 Fire Risk Assessment involves an in-depth evaluation of fire risks in the communal areas of multi-occupancy properties. More detailed than a Type 1 assessment, it assesses a wide range of fire safety factors, including communal passageways, stairwells, and lobby areas. The primary objective is to determine the adequacy of fire safety precautions and implement strategies to protect residents effectively.
Our Type 2 Fire Risk Assessment Process
- Initial Consultation : We begin with a tailored consultation to understand the specific characteristics and unique requirements of your building’s common areas.
- On-Site Inspection : Our experienced fire engineers perform a detailed on-site inspection, identifying fire hazards and assessing the condition of fire safety equipment, as well as the integrity of compartmentation measures.
- Compartmentation Evaluation : Trained technicians examine fire-rated barriers to ensure they are installed, maintained, and functioning correctly to prevent the spread of fire.
- Risk Evaluation : Comprehensive risk assessments identify potential weaknesses by evaluating occupancy levels, layout, and the effectiveness of current fire safety measures.
- Comprehensive Reporting : A detailed report is created to document observations, evaluate safety measures, and specify recommendations for improvement, aligned with regulatory compliance.
