Phoenix STS is Ireland’s leading specialist provider of fire safety and health and safety consultancy for the healthcare sector. With approximately 60–65% of our business dedicated to healthcare clients, we bring unrivalled depth of experience to nursing homes, hospitals, residential care facilities, and HIQA-designated centres across all 26 counties. Our team, led by Director Paddy McDonnell BEng (Fire Engineering), combines specialist fire engineering qualifications with CMIOSH-qualified health and safety expertise to deliver services that are technically rigorous, practically focused, and fully aligned with regulatory requirements.

We work with some of Ireland’s largest healthcare groups, including HSE, UMPC, Virtue Integrated Elder Care, Grace Healthcare and Curam, as well as individual nursing homes and care facilities nationwide. Our services include comprehensive fire risk assessments, fire safety management documents, evacuation planning, safety statements, and staff training programmes. Every deliverable is tailored to the unique challenges of healthcare environments, where the safety of vulnerable residents and patients is the paramount concern.

Compliance in the healthcare sector is governed by a complex framework of legislation and standards. Phoenix STS has deep expertise in HIQA Regulation 28 (fire precautions) under the Health Act 2007, the Fire Services Acts 1981 & 2003, and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. Our ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety) certifications provide additional assurance that every project is delivered to the highest professional standards. With nearly 290 health care clients across Ireland, we understand what inspectors expect and what facilities need to protect their residents, staff, and visitors.
