Actimeat: responding more quickly to a fire outbreak
Regulatory non-compliance
A single gap can lead to a formal notice, a refusal by the safety commission or a restriction on operating.
Your free fire safety audit
Do you really know whether your site is properly protected?
A fire safety system can look perfectly operational day to day, yet hide weaknesses that only surface during an inspection, an incident or a fire.
For over 65 years, DEF has helped building operators manage fire risk, with recognised field expertise and a whole-system approach to fire safety.
With our network of agencies across the country, our teams work close to your sites to identify gaps, assess the real risks and prioritise the action that matters.

Why act now?
A misjudged fire risk can cost your operation dearly
Operator liability
If an incident occurs, you may be held liable where the fire system has failed.
Business interruption
Even a contained fire can halt operations and cause heavy financial losses.
Insurance risk
An unsuitable or poorly maintained installation can weaken your position in a claim.
Inconsistent fire safety system
Poorly coordinated detection, alarm, safety management or smoke control reduce the effectiveness of the whole system.
Unnecessary over-investment
An audit also avoids badly prioritised works or spending that does not match the real risk.
What DEF checks during the audit
An on-site audit to establish your real level of fire safety
DEF analyses your installation on site: how the fire safety system actually behaves, how consistent the equipment is, which rules apply and what the real risks to your operation are.
1
Your existing installation
Analysis of the fire safety architecture, the equipment in place and the consistency between detection, alarm, safety management and day-to-day operation.
2
Your regulatory compliance
Verification of the requirements that apply to your site: public-access buildings, employment law, classified installations, insurer standards or specific constraints.
3
Your real risks
Identification of under-protected areas, possible failure scenarios and the potential impact on your business.
4
Your action priorities
A clear picture is handed over: urgent actions, recommendations, investment to plan for and the trade-offs available.
