Fire and Confined Space Risk and Compliance Services
Fire and Confined Space Risk and Compliance Services
Structured fire and confined space risk assessment, emergency planning and drill facilitation aligned to legal and municipal requirements.
Fire and confined space risks are a statutory consideration under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993. Employers are required to provide and maintain, as far as reasonably practicable, a working environment that is safe and without risk to the health of employees and other affected persons.
NOSA provides structured risk assessment and compliance services to assist organisations in identifying, evaluating and controlling both fire-related hazards and confined space risks, strengthening overall emergency preparedness and legal compliance.

Our Fire and Confined Space Risk Services
NOSA offers structured risk assessment and compliance services for both fire and confined space environments, applying a consistent, risk-based approach to managing high-risk operations.
Fire Risk Assessments
A structured fire risk assessment identifies fire hazards, evaluates associated risks and determines appropriate control measures. This approach aligns with the same risk-based methodology applied to confined space risk assessments.
The assessment is:
- Aligned with legal requirements
- Based on applicable standards and best practice
- Focused on the protection of staff and infrastructure
- Inclusive of evaluation of means of egress
- Designed to support ongoing improvement through periodic review
This process enables organisations to verify fire compliance against applicable legislation and municipal by-laws.
Emergency Planning and Floor Plans
We assist organisations in the development and review of emergency evacuation plans and floor layouts.
This includes:
- Emergency-specific procedures
- Clear evacuation guidance
- Evaluation of escape routes and adequacy of egress
- Alignment with legal requirements and recognised standards
- Annual or change-triggered review to ensure continued compliance
When displayed in strategic locations, these plans provide clear, accessible guidance to employees, visitors and contractors during emergency situations. This includes planning for both fire-related incidents and confined space emergency scenarios.
Emergency Drills with Outcome Reports
Emergency drills verify the effectiveness of evacuation procedures and staff response.
Services include:
- Announced or unannounced evacuation drills
- Verification of compliance with municipal drill frequency requirements
- On-site assessment of alarm adequacy and communication effectiveness
- Evaluation of staff response and procedural effectiveness
- Comprehensive post-drill report outlining successes, shortcomings and improvement recommendations
Drills form a critical part of ensuring that documented procedures are practical and effective under real conditions. Drills may include both fire evacuation scenarios and confined space emergency response preparedness.
Confined Space Risk Assessments
Identify and evaluate confined spaces and associated hazards within your operations.
Our structured approach includes hazard identification, risk assessment based on likelihood, severity and exposure, and the implementation of appropriate control measures to prevent serious incidents.
Assessments result in a detailed site report identifying confined spaces, classification requirements and recommended controls, supporting compliance with legal and operational requirements.
