Fire Risk Assessment & Safety Audits

Logistical efficiency: This client provides all levels of modern office space, mostly for large international clients but also for smaller organisations with widely distributed workforces. Having to work to tight time constraints, they have to ensure that each building conforms to all the necessary safety standards, including hibernated buildings. Each day brings fresh challenges.

Some project highlights:

• Governmental resilience project during COVID pandemic

• Response to rapid growth in call centres

• Systems response to changes in building regulations (fire)

• Development of tablet based auditing systems

The client is often asked for help with various services by their tenants, including H&S management and, in the UK, Construction Design & Management (CDM) roles. S2 has been able to respond quickly to these demands which has enabled our client to reinforce their reputation and value with their own clients.

Due to the volume of office space provided for some clients which are located in numerous towns and cities around the country, or sometimes worldwide, it can be challenging to get large numbers of offices risk assessed with adequate fire safety provisions and management documentation in place.

S2 has put together a comprehensive site visit and assessment service that fits within the constraints of office refurbishment, fit-out and occupation dates. Bringing all three disciplines together in one contract creates excellent efficiencies of scale for the client. This also enables us to plan the logistics for opening the offices on time and on budget, thereby enabling our consultants to immediately respond to any unexpected failings they find when visiting sites. We are now extending these national management systems into a full global framework system that can easily fit any operating country and be overseen at a distance.

Our client has also benefitted by being able to offer our services to their various tenants.
