Overview

Premier Compliance tests and maintains 2,000+ fire and smoke dampers across the Children's Hospital and the Women's Hospital & Community Clinic, on a four-year contract. The focus is BS 9999:2017 compliance and a 100% pass rate, with annual inspection, cleaning and testing.

Challenges

  • High-risk areas — critical-care and cancer wards required bespoke method statements and risk assessments, coordinated closely with hospital staff.
  • Initial 35% fail rate — a targeted remedial plan to repair or replace defective dampers and bring fire-stopping up to standard.
  • Live hospital access — meticulous scheduling around daily operations.

Outcome

Delivered on time with no disruption to patient services. Reports flag damper performance and surrounding fire-stopping/firewall issues, feeding the Trust's wider fire-safety strategy, with weekly KPI reporting and a clear path to a 100% pass rate.
