Fire Safety
What we offer
Helping you protect your people, property and your business through practical fire safety management..
Fire safety is more than completing a Fire Risk Assessment. It is about understanding how fire could start, who could be affected, how people will escape and whether the arrangements in place will actually work when they are needed.
Pragmatic Safety provides competent, practical fire safety support for workplaces, construction projects and operational facilities.
From a one-off Fire Risk Assessment to ongoing fire safety management, we focus on the risks that matter and the actions needed to control them.
Fire Risk Assessments
Understand the risk. Know what needs to change.
We undertake suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessments to identify fire hazards, people at risk, existing precautions and any further measures required.
Our assessments are site-specific and provide clear, prioritised actions.
Workplace and commercial premises
Factories, warehouses and industrial facilities
Construction sites and temporary arrangements
Offices and project facilities
Review of existing Fire Risk Assessments
Action plans and follow-up reviews
Fire Safety Management
The assessment identifies the risk. Good management keeps it controlled.
We help Responsible Persons and organisations establish practical arrangements for managing fire safety day to day.

Emergency Planning and Response
An emergency plan needs to work in practice, not just on paper.

Construction Fire Safety
Construction changes the fire risk. Your arrangements need to change with it.
Temporary buildings, incomplete compartmentation, hot works, combustible materials, changing escape routes and evolving site layouts can create risks very different from those in a completed building.
Pragmatic Safety supports Clients, Principal Designers and Principal Contractors in identifying and managing these risks throughout construction.
