Fire safety audit and risk assessment for companies
Fire safety audit and risk assessment is a systematic evaluation of the condition of a site, helping to identify existing fire safety deficiencies, assess hazardous situations and ensure full compliance with Latvian regulations and SFRS requirements. Safe ME specialists carry out in-depth analysis of the site, examining technical infrastructure, work environment, documentation and process organisation to provide practical solutions for improving safety levels.
Our auditors not only inspect the current situation — we prepare a detailed audit report with a list of identified non-conformities, priority actions and recommendations with a plan for eliminating deficiencies.
A fire safety audit is a comprehensive assessment of a company’s fire safety system, documentation, premises and practical compliance in accordance with Latvian regulations and SFRS requirements.
During the audit we analyse:
✔ Condition of fire safety documentation
✔ Fire safety instructions and evacuation plans
✔ Practical compliance with fire safety requirements on site
✔ Potential fire risks
As a result, the company receives a clear overview of the current situation, identified non-conformities and specific recommendations for improving fire safety.
