SPECIALIST FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT EXPERTISE FOR MARINAS & WATERSIDE SITES
We provide specialist fire safety support for marinas, boatyards and waterside sites across the UK, in partnership with Empyrean Fire Consultancy. Combining over 50 years of marine industry experience with specialist fire safety expertise, we help operators understand their fire risks, review existing arrangements and identify practical improvements tailored to their site.
SPECIALIST FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS
Working in partnership with Empyrean Fire Consultancy, we provide access to specialist fire risk assessment expertise for marine environments. Assessments consider the specific hazards, activities and people present at your site, helping identify potential risks, evaluate existing control measures and highlight areas where improvements may be required.
FIRE SAFETY PLANNING & EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
An effective approach to fire safety involves more than an assessment alone. Site-specific planning can help operators establish clear emergency procedures, evacuation arrangements, assembly points, alarm-raising processes and responsibilities for staff. Firefighting equipment, emergency access and relevant vessel information should also be considered.
UNDERSTANDING MARINE FIRE RISKS
Marinas and boatyards present unique fire safety challenges, including combustible vessel materials, fuel storage, LPG, electrical systems and hot works. Dry stack storage and closely positioned vessels can increase the potential for fire to spread, while pontoons and restricted emergency service access can complicate firefighting and evacuation arrangements.
FIRE SAFETY COMPLIANCE & DOCUMENTATION
Keeping fire safety documentation current and appropriate to your operation is an important part of managing your responsibilities. We help connect marine operators with specialist fire safety support to review existing arrangements, identify potential gaps and understand where further action may be needed in light of applicable legislation and industry guidance.
