Health and safety design
Health and safety design refers to the intentional incorporation of safety considerations and principles into the design process of construction projects. It identifies and mitigates potential hazards, minimises risks, and promotes the well-being and safety of individuals who interact with the designed entity.
We work throughout the following seven stages.
Understand
We clarify project aims be they, statutory compliance and life safety through property and asset protection to environmental or reputational damage limitation. Our input to the project brief will help establish the ground rules.
Design
We interpret codes and standards and apply fire engineering from concept strategy, plans review and planning application to detailed design.
Specify
We assist the wider design team in setting the minimum standard and appropriate specification for active and passive fire safety systems. Asking the right questions of suppliers during bid phase and helping with selection. In this way a single focal point is created for all fire related information.
Deliver
We clarify project aims be they, statutory compliance and life safety through property and asset protection to environmental or reputational damage limitation. Our input to the project brief will help establish the ground rules.
Test
We clarify project aims be they, statutory compliance and life safety through property and asset protection to environmental or reputational damage limitation. Our input to the project brief will help establish the ground rules.
Use
We carry out fire risk assessments and apply our fire risk management knowledge to ensure efficient and effective governance of fire risk. Our expertise helps the people occupying the building meet all the appropriate statutory requirements.
Change
Buildings change over time and this could influence a fire risk. Our safety knowledge is invaluable if you’re considering refurbishment of any kind.
