Fire Risk Assessment

Elevate safety standards with expert-led fire risk assessments

A UL Solutions fire risk assessment provides property owners with invaluable insights into potential fire hazards, helping them to address safety and compliance regulations. Knowing those risks and implementing the necessary safety measures can help reduce the likelihood of fires, help protect lives and support property and legal requirement compliance in your journey to providing a safer building environment.

Understanding the fire triangle or combustion triangle is critical for property owners and investors looking to keep their buildings and occupants as safe as possible. When 1) a source of ignition (heat), 2) a source of fuel (something that burns) and 3) oxygen are all present, fires can occur.

Learn how our dedicated expert team can support your organization in identifying these risks so that you can take the steps needed to create a more secure environment for all.
