Chubb provides comprehensive fire services including extinguisher maintenance, fire door inspections, risk assessments, fire safety training and site surveys. Our fire services are consultant led, which means we use our extensive experience in fire prevention so that you can trust Chubb to provide a comprehensive service for your business.

Fire risk assessment and fire safety survey

A Chubb fire safety survey will pay particular attention to the fire safety products in place at your premises to assess their effectiveness. A qualified surveyor will run through all the necessary checks to monitor your fire safety provisions, identify any gaps where the premises would benefit from additional products or systems, and highlight any overlaps in your provision where cost savings could be made. Recommendations are delivered by a trained professional in accordance with the latest fire safety guidance.

DSEAR report

Employers who use or store significant quantities of substances that may form an explosive or flammable atmosphere have a duty to adhere to the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002. Chubb is a leading provider of safety and environmental assessments, with expert consultants trained to consider and evaluate risks, producing DSEAR compliant reports and guidance covering the identification of dangerous substances, risk assessing the nature of the hazard and the environment in which substances are stored and used, elimination or control measures, reduction of the harmful effects of an incident, and training for employees and contractors.

Pre-occupancy, occupancy and fire strategy reports

Pre-occupancy report: determines whether newly constructed or refurbished premises are fit for occupation, identifying the purpose of the building, the applicable fire-related legislation and guidance documents, means of escape, internal fire spread, firefighting provisions and fire protection measures

Occupancy report: general fire safety advice and a calculation of safe occupancy figures

Fire strategy report: assesses ways to prevent internal and external fire spreading to be compliant with Building Regulations and ensure there is an exit strategy for all site personnel

Fire door inspection

A fire door inspection is carried out by a competent fire assessor who inspects internal doors, checking each door's structural integrity, the furniture and mechanisms for faults, damage or wear. You will receive a report detailing a pass or fail rating for each door, with recommendations for any remedial work needed. We recommend having an inspection every 12 months (every six months if you are in Scotland).

Escape, evacuation and emergency lighting

Fire evacuation drill: Chubb organises and invigilates fire evacuations that enhance staff awareness and promote a safety culture, reporting on evacuation, warden performance, assembly areas, escape route use and procedures for physically and sensory impaired personnel

Emergency and evacuation planning, fire evacuation plans and fire signs

Emergency lighting: bulkheads, down lighter kits, amenity lighting units, twin spots, conversion fittings and illuminated signs, compliant with relevant British Standards; maintaining a building's emergency lighting is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and Chubb can conduct your monthly emergency lighting tests and six-monthly checks as part of your fire safety maintenance
