Few things are more fundamental to fire safety in buildings than the range of passive fire protection measures built into the structure or forming the compartments. 

Fire Barrier Services are members of FIRAS, which is an accreditation scheme administered by Warrington Fire Research for installers of passive fire protection systems. The scheme was developed to enable installers to gain the necessary levels of skill, through training, to ensure systems fitted on site are to the correct standards.

Both managers and installation engineers at Fire Barrier Services are FIRAS trained in the selection and application of passive fire protection systems. Workmanship on site is continually monitored by FIRAS through random site inspections and audit checks of the project quality management systems. By using a FIRAS registered contractor works will be carried out by knowledgeable companies to appropriate standards, offering clients peace of Mind
