Health, Fire and Safety Experts

A fire risk assessment is a systematic evaluation of your premises to identify fire hazards, assess the risk to occupants, and recommend protective measures. Under the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003, all employers and persons in control of premises must ensure adequate fire safety. Phoenix STS conducts fire risk assessments to PAS 79-1:2020, carried out by BEng-qualified fire engineers who are NFRAR-registered. Our assessments cover ignition sources, fire spread potential, means of escape, detection systems, and management procedures. We serve offices, retail, healthcare, hospitality, and industrial premises nationwide. Contact us on 043 334 9611 to arrange your assessment.

Phoenix STS supports compliance through fire risk assessments to PAS 79-1:2020, fire safety management plans, staff training programmes, emergency evacuation planning, and audits of fire detection and alarm systems.

Phoenix STS carries out fire door inspections in accordance with BS 8214:2026 and BS 8674:2025, using a comprehensive 23-point inspection checklist. Each inspection examines the door leaf, frame, intumescent strips, cold smoke seals, glazing, ironmongery, self-closing devices, signage, and gap tolerances. We assess both new installations and existing fire doors to determine whether they remain fit for purpose. Every door receives a pass, advisory, or fail rating with a detailed photographic report. Our BEng-qualified inspectors are experienced across commercial, residential, and healthcare properties.

An IS 3218:2024 audit is a thorough assessment of your fire detection and alarm system against the current Irish standard.

Our audits identify deficiencies that could compromise life safety or lead to regulatory non-compliance. As an ISO 9001-certified consultancy, we deliver structured audit reports with prioritised recommendations. This service is essential for premises undergoing fire risk assessment, insurance review, or HIQA inspection.
