Our services

Our fire safety auditors under the stewardship of the managing consultant Wilson Goko MSc, LLB, AIFireE, Grad IOSH, SIIRSM, MIFPO,

SIRM examine premises and the relevant documentation relating to that premises to ascertain how fire safety is managed. Our fire safety

auditors are duly approved by the Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services (DOSHS) and they carry out fire safety audits in

accordance with Section 36 of The Factories and Other Places of Work (Fire Risk Reduction) Rules 2007. These rules provide that every

occupier shall cause a fire safety audit of the work place to be undertaken at least once every twelve months by an approved fire safety

auditor.

Fire Safety AuditAn essential element of any fire safety management system is the audit process. The performance of key elements of a fire safety management

system should be periodically audited to ensure continual improvement in the management of fire safety. The emphasis is on an organisation

to demonstrate that it has fulfilled legal duties as set out in fire safety legislation.

We audit the following areas for evidence of fire safety management:

» Fire Risk Assessment

» Action plans related to significant findings of the fire risk assessment

» Emergency evacuation plans

» Means of escape – including horizontal and vertical escape

» Emergency routes e.g. fire safety signage, emergency lighting

» Internal and external fire spread

» Preventative measures e.g. anti-arson measures, fire safety engineering solutions

» Protective measures e.g. fire detection/fire suppression, fire-resisting walls and floors

» Review of safety awareness, fire drills and fire safety training requirements.

» Assessment of fire risks involving hazardous substances i.e. receipt, storage & handling

» Evidence that the following have been tested by a competent person e.g. fire detection and warning system, emergency

lighting, fire-fighting equipment, electrical wiring, portable appliance testing etc.

» Furniture, fixtures and fittings

» Review of contractor fire safety awareness

In addition we carry out a walk-through visual inspection which includes interviewing key personnel.

We emphasise that it is the fire safety systems,processess and procedures that are the subject of the fire safety audit and not the people in or

around the premises.

Fire Risk Assessment

We carry out fire risk assessments where we highlight the consequences of fire on people and clarify what fire safety systems are required and

what function they have in relation to the protection of people. We also make clear what management responsibilities are required to maintain

and operate the relevant fire safety systems.

The following are some of the factors we consider in assessing fire risk for new and existing buildings:

» Anticipated likelihood of a fire occurring

» Anticipated severity and potential spread of fire

» Ability of the building structure to resist the spread of fire and smoke

» Consequential danger to people in and around the building

» Fire prevention facilities

» The standard of the means of escape

» Degree of fire containment

» Measures for fire extinguishment or control

» Fire fighter facilities

» Management procedure and processes

» Occupancy characteristics

What We Provide

Once a fire safety audit or fire risk assessment is completed, the fire safety auditor will discuss the findings and explain practical methods

of reducing fire risks to an acceptable level.We also service and maintain fire alarm systems and fire extinguishers as part of our fire safety

services.

The fire safety auditor will then prepare a detailed fire safety report setting out prioritised recommendations in order to facilitate compliance

with fire safety legislation.

The legal requirements for a Health and Safety Audit is found in The Occupational Safety and Health Act No. 15 of 2007 Laws of Kenya. It requires

occupiers/employers to manage health and safety. Implementing a Safety Management System will assist the employer to manage safety.

Auditing is an important element in any Safety Management System. It is important for ensuring continual improvement in the management

of health and safety.

A Health and Safety audit involves collecting information on the efficiency, effectiveness and reliability of the Safety Management System and

drawing up plans for corrective action. This type of auditing examines each stages in the health and safety management system by measuring

compliance with the controls the organisation has developed, with the ultimate aim of assessing their effectiveness and their validity for the

future.

The aim of an external audit is to ensure an organisation’s safety management system is being effectively implemented in order to manage

the risk of accidents and ill health occurring in the workplace. It also ensures that sustainable environmental practices are being followed at

all times.

Successful auditing has a significant effect on reducing rates of accidents, injuries, ill-health, litigation costs and improving productivity

Who is it for?

It is best suited to organisations wanting to reduce uncontrolled hazards, manage the risk of workplace accidents and ill health and ensure their

occupational health and safety arrangements meet both relevant legislative requirements and standard criteria.
