Fire Safety Training & Consultancy Cork
Professional fire safety services for Cork businesses, healthcare facilities, and industrial premises.
Fire Safety and Health & Safety Services in Cork
Cork is Ireland's second-largest city, with a significant concentration of pharmaceutical, food manufacturing, technology, and healthcare premises. The city and county's industrial base means many businesses handle hazardous substances, operate complex building services, and require specialist fire safety management. Employers and building owners must comply with the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003, the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, and Building Regulations (Technical Guidance Document B).
These duties carry personal responsibility: the person in control of the premises must be able to show that fire risk is assessed and managed. Phoenix STS schedules assessments and training across Cork city and county, from Mallow and Midleton to Bandon, Clonakilty, and Skibbereen.
Fire Risk Assessments
PAS 79-1:2020 fire risk assessments for Cork's pharmaceutical, food manufacturing, and technology premises, where process hazards need close attention. Conducted by NFRAR-registered assessors.
Fire Safety Training
On-site fire warden, fire safety awareness, and evacuation training for Cork workplaces, including industrial sites where staff manage hazardous substances. All courses are CPD-accredited.

Fire Safety Enforcement in Cork
Cork City Fire Brigade's Fire Prevention Section processes fire safety certificate applications, conducts inspections of commercial premises, and enforces compliance under the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003. Cork County Council's fire service covers the wider county area. Both authorities have powers to issue fire safety notices and closure notices where premises present a serious risk to life.
A closure notice can stop a building being used until the risk is removed. Phoenix STS helps Cork businesses keep their fire risk assessments, staff training records, and maintenance evidence ready for inspection at any time.
Healthcare Fire Safety in Cork
Cork has a substantial number of HIQA-registered designated centres, including nursing homes, community hospitals, and disability services. Each must comply with Regulation 28 of S.I. 415/2013 (as amended by S.I. 1/2025). Major hospitals in the region include Cork University Hospital, the Mercy University Hospital, and the Bon Secours Hospital Cork, all requiring fire safety management systems and regular fire risk assessment.
Phoenix STS works with nursing homes, community hospitals, and disability services across Cork city and county. A typical engagement begins with a PAS 79-1:2020 fire risk assessment. From there we prepare the fire safety management plan, train staff on site, plan evacuations, and audit the fire alarm system to IS 3218:2024.
