Fire Safety Study
The regulator-facing study tied to consent, licensing or MHF registration — and the single document most likely to hold your project up. We have written more than a thousand of them, including a great many that followed somebody else’s rejection.

Hazard identification
Every credible fire, explosion and toxic scenario for the materials and processes on site.
Consequence modelling
Heat flux, overpressure and dispersion contours run in Phast, EFFECTS or FLACS, with inputs shown.
Fire protection adequacy
Detection, suppression, water supply and hydrant coverage against the applicable standards.
Separation & segregation
Distances to boundaries, protected places and incompatible goods — demonstrated, not asserted.
Emergency response interface
What the responding brigade will find, where they will stand, and what they need to know.
Concise recommendations
Prioritised and actionable, written so the regulator can close them out rather than reopen them.

Six more fire safety services
Each answers a different question, for a different audience — a regulator, an insurer, a brigade, or your own board. We will tell you honestly which one your condition is asking for.
FRA
Fire Risk Assessment (FRA)
A risk-based assessment of an operating site rather than a regulator submission — what could burn, how likely it is, and whether your existing controls are actually enough.
FMP
Fire Management Plan (FMP)
How fire risk is controlled day to day and who is accountable for each control — the operational document that keeps the study’s findings alive after we leave.
FIMR
Fire Incident Management Report (FIMR)
Post-incident analysis, root cause and the corrective actions that close it out — including how your detection and suppression systems actually performed on the day.
BRA
Bushfire Risk Assessment
Interface exposure, ember attack and defendable space for regional and peri-urban sites — including BESS and solar farms sitting in grassland.
ESM
Essential Safety Measure (ESM) Inspection
Victorian ESM inspection and annual essential safety measures statement support — confirming every measure listed on your occupancy permit is still doing its job.
NCC
Special Hazard Report to comply with NCC
Performance solution reporting where a deemed-to-satisfy pathway does not fit the hazard — transformers, battery rooms, high-hazard storage and anything the Code did not anticipate.

Two previous consultants failed to deliver an acceptable Fire Safety Study. Both were rejected, 12 Provisional Improvement Notices were issued and a site shutdown was threatened.
The turning point: Fire Rescue Victoria recommended RSSM directly to the client.
