FIRE STRATEGY MANAGEMENT

Ensuring Your Building Continues to Meet Its Fire Strategy Requirements

A Fire Strategy is the foundation of a building's fire safety arrangements. It defines how occupants will be protected in the event of fire and sets out the requirements for fire doors, compartmentation, alarms, means of escape, smoke control systems, and other fire safety measures.

Many organisations have a Fire Strategy but lack the resources to actively manage and monitor compliance against its requirements.

PCM provides Fire Strategy Management services to ensure fire safety measures remain effective, compliant, and aligned with the original design intent of the building.
