Fire Safety Training & Consultancy Dublin
Professional fire safety services for Dublin businesses, healthcare facilities, and public buildings.
Fire Safety and Health & Safety Services in Dublin
Dublin is home to the highest concentration of commercial premises, healthcare facilities, and designated centres in Ireland. The city's mix of modern office buildings, historic structures, hotels, hospitals, and nursing homes each present distinct fire safety challenges. Building owners and employers across Dublin 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).
Each of these duties comes back to the same essentials: a current fire risk assessment, trained staff, and escape routes that work. Phoenix STS provides all of this across Dublin City, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Fingal, and South Dublin, with no additional travel charges within the Greater Dublin Area.
Fire Risk Assessments
Fire risk assessments to PAS 79-1:2020 for Dublin's offices, hotels, historic buildings, and hospitals. Every assessment is carried out by a BEng-qualified, NFRAR-registered assessor.
Fire Safety Training
Fire warden, fire safety awareness, and evacuation training delivered at your premises anywhere in the Greater Dublin Area. All instructor-led courses are CPD-accredited.
Fire Door Inspections
23-point fire door inspections to BS 8214:2026, with a photographic report and a pass, advisory, or fail rating for every door set in your Dublin building.
Health & Safety Consultancy
Safety statements, workplace risk assessments, and safety audits for Dublin employers. Phoenix STS holds dual ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certification.
Fire Safety Enforcement in Dublin
Dublin Fire Brigade operates a dedicated Fire Prevention Section staffed by Senior Executive Fire Prevention Officers. Under the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003, they carry out inspections of commercial premises, issue fire safety notices, and enforce compliance across Dublin's four local authority areas. The Fire Prevention Section also processes fire safety certificate applications and licensing inspections for places of assembly.
A fire safety notice can require remedial works or restrict how a building is used. Phoenix STS prepares the fire risk assessments, training records, and inspection reports that show the local fire authority your Dublin premises is being managed properly.
Healthcare Fire Safety in Dublin
Dublin has the largest number of HIQA-registered designated centres for older persons in the State. Each must comply with Regulation 28 of S.I. 415/2013 (as amended by S.I. 1/2025), requiring adequate fire precautions, documented fire risk assessments, fire safety management plans, and regular staff training. Dublin also has major hospitals including the Mater, St James's, Beaumont, Tallaght, and St Vincent's, all of which require fire safety management systems.

- PAS 79-1:2020 fire risk assessments

- On-site staff fire safety training
- Emergency evacuation planning

The Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003 place a further duty on persons in control of premises to guard against fire and ensure the safety of occupants. Fire authorities have statutory powers under the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003 to inspect premises and serve fire safety notices where deficiencies are found. Phoenix STS conducts PAS 79-1:2020 fire risk assessments across Dublin, delivered by BEng-qualified, NFRAR-registered assessors.
Phoenix STS delivers on-site fire safety training at your Dublin premises, including fire warden courses, fire safety awareness, fire extinguisher practical training, evacuation procedures, and specialist nursing home fire safety courses.

Fire safety awareness training should be provided to all staff on induction and refreshed annually. Fire warden training is typically renewed every two years.
