Healthcare facilities need to be safe and secure environments and fire safety is a critical
component in this. Occupants of buildings can be bed bound and evacuation is often
difficult. A well designed building ensures that staff can continue their vital work and
patients can recover in a safe healing environment.
For inspirational, safe and secure healing environments
Kiwa Fire Safety Compliance have over 30 years’ expertise
and experience delivering clear, unbiased and actionable fire
safety solutions to the healthcare sector, spanning all 0-7
RIBA stages of planning and development.
Fire safety is a critical component in the successful design of
any new build or refurbishment project, at any budget level and
our team of highly knowledgeable Fire Engineers have helped to
create innovative and effective designs for almost every type of
healthcare facility; from care homes, NHS trusts hospitals, clinics
and mental health units, to research labs and operating theatres.
We are relied upon by many prestigious construction firms,
architects, developers, estate managers and trusts to advise on
any fire safety and fire protection issues, incorporating active and
passive systems, clear evacuation plans, fire stopping systems
