Welcome to Stanford Global.Fire safety is our focus.
Stanford Global is not a generalist health and safety consultancy. Our focus is fire safety alone: assessment, inspection, training, management and assurance, delivered as one coordinated service.
About us
Competence at the Heart of Our Work
Fire safety requires more than possessing qualifications or completing a checklist. Professional competence involves applying knowledge and judgement appropriately to the building, its use, its occupants and the risks present.
To help you protect people and property, understand and manage fire risk, and maintain effective arrangements through competent assessment, inspection, training and independent assurance.
Protecting people, property, and business continuity
What is fire safety?
Take an ordinary corridor: select each point to see what a fire risk assessment may consider, and where we help you put it right.
It is everything that keeps a fire from starting, limits one that does and gets people out safely: the building itself, its fire doors, alarms, emergency lighting, escape routes and the arrangements that keep all of it working.

Your legal responsibility
Let’s make buildings safer for people.
Fire safety is an ongoing management responsibility. It connects the condition of a building, the people who use it, organisational arrangements and the evidence that action has been completed.

Fire safety shaped around the building and the people who use it.
Fire-safety duties fall on employers, owners, landlords, occupiers and others exercising control over a building. The premises change from one sector to the next; the obligation does not.
