At Ablemen Protection Services, we recognize the crucial role fire safety plays in protecting both people and property. Our fire marshal and fire watch services are designed to ensure the safety of your site, staff, visitors, and property from the threat of fire.

We can provide highly trained fire marshals, whose main responsibility is to oversee fire safety measures and manage evacuation procedures during an emergency. These professionals are also available to take on fire warden duties, ensuring that fire safety protocols are adhered to during day-to-day operations.

Fire Watch Services

Our fire watch service is deployed when there is an elevated risk of fire, such as when fire alarm or sprinkler systems are disabled for extended periods, during hazardous activities like welding, or when demolition work is being conducted.

The role of a fire watch officer is to monitor potential fire hazards, provide early detection, and ensure that appropriate actions are taken in the event of a fire. Our experienced staff are fully trained and prepared to manage fire risks and ensure your premises remain compliant with fire safety regulations.

When Is Fire Watch Required?

There are specific situations where a fire watch service is mandated by safety standards, including:

• When the fire alarm or sprinkler system is out of operation for more than four hours
• During “hot work” activities like welding
• In some demolition scenarios
• For venues or areas with large crowds or high-risk activities

In addition, even if not legally required, choosing a fire watch service can provide added peace of mind by minimizing fire risk and ensuring the safety of your assets and employees.

What Our Fire Watch Officers Offer

Our dedicated fire watch officers are fully equipped to handle the fire risks associated with your site. They are trained in the latest fire safety protocols and are prepared to respond to emergencies swiftly and effectively.

Ablemen Protection Services provides internal and external training to our staff, ensuring they stay up to date with fire safety regulations and procedures. Our fire marshals and wardens are trained to:

• Identify and report potential hazards to the relevant authorities
• Remove dangerous materials or items stored improperly
• Ensure smoking areas are safe and regularly cleaned
• Act decisively in the event of a fire, including sounding alarms and evacuating people
• Keep a detailed log of all safety checks and incidents
• Make sure fire doors remain closed and escape routes are clear

In the event of a fire, our fire marshals take immediate action by responding to fire alarms, contacting emergency services, evacuating people from danger zones, and conducting thorough searches to ensure no one is left behind. They also assist people with disabilities and ensure clear communication during evacuations.

Our trained personnel are equipped with high-visibility clothing and essential safety tools like two-way radios, torches, and backup power supplies to ensure continuous operation, even if there is a loss of electricity.
