Type 4 Fire Risk Assessment
A Type 4 Fire Risk Assessment is a comprehensive and advanced fire safety evaluation. It includes invasive inspection techniques to assess fire protection systems, fire compartmentation, and overall safety measures in multi-occupancy buildings. This assessment is essential for identifying potential risks or breaches in fire-resistant barriers, ensuring the building’s compliance with safety standards and safeguarding occupants from fire hazards.
Our Fire Risk Assessment Process
- Initial Consultation : We begin with a thorough discussion with building management and stakeholders to identify and address specific fire safety concerns, helping us tailor the assessment to your needs.
- Detailed On-Site Inspection : Our experienced fire engineers carry out an in-depth, invasive inspection of both common areas and private flats. We access concealed spaces—like ceilings, walls, and cavities—to evaluate the integrity of fire barriers and other compartmentation features.
- Comprehensive Compartmentation Evaluation : A primary focus is assessing the fire compartmentation throughout the building. Our team identifies any deficiencies or breaches in fire-resistive barriers that could lead to fire spreading between areas.
- Risk Identification and Evaluation : We analyse all identified risks based on building design, occupancy levels, and potential hazards. This allows us to provide an accurate understanding of your building’s fire safety condition.
- Detailed Reporting and Recommendations : Following our inspection, you’ll receive a clear and comprehensive report. It outlines the identified issues, detailed findings, and actionable recommendations for remedial work to address fire compartmentation concerns effectively.
- Ongoing Support and Guidance : At MAF Associates, we don’t stop at the assessment. We provide support for implementing our recommendations, upgrading fire safety measures, and refining emergency procedures to enhance safety and compliance.
