BAFE SP205 is an industry standard for companies undertaking fire risk assessments. It sets out criteria and requirements for not only competency of those carrying out the fire risk assessments, but the competency of those who review and sign off the reports before they are issued. It also meets requirements for the company’s quality management standards.

Quidvis fire risk assessors and fire door inspectors are all competent, qualified professionals and carry a minimum of ‘Level 3 Award in Fire Risk Assessment’ and additional fire door inspection qualifications. NSI also carry out external on-going monitoring of our assessors to ensure we maintain compliance with BAFE SP205. All assessors are currently, or applying to become, members of ‘The Institute of Fire Safety Managers’.

Our Process

All our customer fire risk assessments and fire door inspections are completed on the QuidvisRiskApp, ensuring consistency and continuity is maintained regardless of which assessor is completing the assessment.

Fire Door Inspections

Since fire door inspections are completed by qualified fire risk assessors, we can advise clients where they have doors that are actually a risk to life as well as being non-compliant. We are also able to save our clients’ money, by identifying where fire doors have been unnecessarily installed. This reduces maintenance costs and avoids needless repairs.

Improved Quality and Productivity

Our unique software allows assessors to efficiently record detailed information and capture photographic evidence of every fire risk or fire door defect identified. The reports are created automatically while the assessor enters the information on the QuidvisRiskApp.

This allows our assessors to spend more time on-site completing a comprehensive assessment, rather than spending hours off-site writing up a report from notes taken.

Fire Risk Assessment Reporting

Quidvis delivers the most comprehensive evidence-based fire risk assessments and fire door inspections available. With assessors based across the whole of the UK we are able to offer nationwide delivery, where required.

All assessments are delivered on QuidvisRMS, providing the best reporting and risk management solution available, allowing clients to see:

• Estate and property report analysis: high level reports from the dashboard for the whole estate. Identifying those risks or properties that require prioritised attention.
• Evidence-based risk reporting: every risk identified by the assessor will be accompanied by detailed observations and recommendations in addition to time and date stamped photographs.
• ‘Most at Risk Property’: order the properties across the estate to those that have the most substantial risk to life.
• Life risk and business continuity reporting: in addition to ‘Risk to Life’ reporting, our assessors identify risks to business continuity.
• ‘Root Cause’ analysis: identify the main contributing factor to the risks identified. This will highlight those risks that are people-related, which are generally quick and inexpensive to resolve.
• Year on year comparison: view previous assessments completed and compare reports year-on-year for trends.
• Resolve risks: our clients can resolve risks directly in the system. Recording what was carried out to resolve the risk and upload pictures of the completed work.
