Expert health and safety, fire safety and fire engineering

Fire risk assessment

"We needed our fire risk assessments sorted properly, not just a box ticked. Aiden and AL23 went through every building, told us plainly what needed doing and in what order and gave us a record we can actually stand behind. No jargon, no scare tactics, just clear advice."

Retained support

"Bringing AL23 Safety on as our retained support was the easiest decision we made all year. We get a named person who knows our business, our paperwork is finally up to date and I am not lying awake wondering if we have missed something. It costs a fraction of hiring in-house."

Fire strategy

"On a high-rise residential scheme the fire strategy has to be right from day one. Their fire engineer worked alongside our design team from the start, made sound calls where the guidance was not black and white and got us through the gateway process. Genuine expertise, in-house."

Health and safety audit

"The audit gave me exactly what I wanted, an honest outside view of where we really stood. The action plan was prioritised and realistic rather than a wish list. Six months on, our standards are noticeably better and the team has bought into it."

Incident investigation

"After an incident we wanted an honest, independent view rather than an internal account that looked defensive. They got to the real root cause, handled the RIDDOR side for us and gave us recommendations we could actually act on. It made a difficult situation a lot more manageable."

Training

"The training was face to face, built around our actual risks and our people stayed engaged the whole way through. That never happens with the tick-box online stuff. You can tell the trainer has done the job, not just read the slides."

CDM and Principal Designer

"Having the AL23 team as Principal Designer changed how the whole project ran. Risks got designed out early instead of landing on site as somebody else's problem. They kept the client's duties clear at every stage and the health and safety file at handover was spotless."

Asbestos surveys

"AL23 Safety carried out our asbestos surveys across the portfolio and made the whole duty to manage straightforward. Clear surveys, clear actions and a sensible plan for what to deal with first. They explained it in a way I could take back to the rest of the team."

Multi-site fire risk assessments

"We needed every site assessed to the same standard so we could compare them properly. AL23 Safety delivered exactly that, one method everywhere and a single picture of risk across the estate. For the first time I can show the board where we stand."

Competent person

"As a small business we could not justify a full-time safety manager but we still needed to do things properly. So AL23 Safety became our competent person, sorted our arrangements and gave us the certificate to prove it. Clients and insurers are satisfied and so am I."

Fire door inspections

"They inspected our fire doors and found issues we had no idea about, all explained clearly with photos and a priority for each one. I now have the evidence to show our doors will do their job and the confidence that they actually will."

DSEAR assessment

"DSEAR always felt like a dark art to us. Aiden assessed the site, sorted the hazardous area classification and turned it into plain actions we could follow. They cut through the complexity without cutting corners."

Fire risk assessment

"In a care home you are responsible for people who cannot get themselves out quickly so the fire risk assessment has to be right. AL23 Safety understood that straight away. They were thorough, sensitive to how we work and gave us actions we could put in place without disrupting residents. I have real peace of mind now."

Fire compartmentation survey

"The compartmentation survey was thorough and genuinely useful. AL23 checked the walls, floors and service penetrations and showed us exactly where fire and smoke could spread. It gave us a clear, costed list of what to put right rather than vague concerns."

Method statements and RAMS

"The RAMS they produce are clear, specific to the task and our clients accept them without the back and forth. Our teams actually read them because they are written to be used, not filed. It has saved us real time on every job."

Hospitality

"Running a busy venue, fire and food safety cannot slip. AL23 got us compliant, trained the team and made it all feel manageable rather than overwhelming. They understand hospitality and the pressure we are under, which made a real difference."

Retrospective fire strategy

"We inherited an occupied building with no documented fire strategy and alterations going back years. Aiden and the AL23 Safety team reconstructed the whole strategy from the building as it stands today, not as it was first drawn. It gave us a defensible position and a clear list of what to maintain. Exactly what we needed."

Design fire strategy

"Having AL23's fire engineer in the room from concept made our lives so much easier. The fire strategy shaped the design rather than fighting it later and when the guidance was not clear cut they gave us reasoned answers we could build on. A proper collaborator, not a box-ticker."

Fire strategy

"What sold us was the engineering being in-house. No handing the hard questions to a third party and waiting. AL23's fire engineer owned the fire strategy end to end, kept the project moving and gave us something that stood up to scrutiny. Worth every penny."
