SAFETY, SECURITY & FIRE PROTECTION
THE FIRE SCRUTINEER: ENSURING COMPLIANCE THROUGH EVERY STAGE OF CONSTRUCTION
THE FIRE SCRUTINEER CONCENTRATES ON THE 3 GATEWAYS OF A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT:
Stage one- Design Involves early engagement with architects and designers to review their specifications and fire strategies. This helps to prevent issues and conflicts in the construction stage.
Stage two- Construction During this stage of the Golden Thread, regular inspections of workmanships are undertaken to ensure the installations are completed in line with designers / architect’ s details, and installed as per manufacturers tested solutions.
Stage three- Pre-Occupation Involves the review of all commissioning certificates. This ensures that everything is approved in time for pre-occupation fire risk assessment, along with all documentation required for regulations. This would then be handed over to the Responsible Persons after the building is complete.
