Tenos provides an independent, expert consultancy service to ensure legislative passive fire protection compliance is achieved
Passive Fire Protection (PFP) is an important component of fire safety strategy. The inspection of PFP forms part of a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
PFP is designed to protect life by providing an adequate means of escape from a building in the event of a fire. It does so by attempting to contain fire, or slow the spread of fire, through the use of systems such as compartmentation and features such as fire resistant doors, walls, ceilings, floors and ducts.
These features will only perform effectively if they have been designed, installed and maintained properly. However, the fire resistant capabilities of a building post construction can be seriously compromised by:
As the ‘responsible person’, you are duty bound to ensure the safety of people from fire and the effects of fire, which includes legislative passive fire protection compliance.
To ensure PFP is properly designed, installed and maintained in your building, Tenos offer an independent, impartial and confidential Passive Fire Protection consultancy service.
This comprehensive service, carried out by our highly experienced Chartered Engineers, includes a review of all necessary documentation and, where necessary, an appropriate inspection of the key Passive Fire Protection systems.
You will be issued with a report summarising the key findings and conclusions, together with a prioritised action plan detailing any remedial work required.
In addition to Passive Fire Protection Consultancy, we offer a full range of associated fire engineering services including:
