How does Mensura help in practice?
Our approach consists of four steps:
1. You prepare for our visit
Together with our quote, you’ll receive a short checklist of documents you should gather together and have available during the visit. This will allow us to conduct a thorough and accurate assessment.
2. We visit your site
A Mensura expert inspects the entire site together with a qualified person (your risk prevention advisor, someone from the technical department or a member of the firefighting team). This will give us a good understanding of your fire prevention approach in practice.
3. We identify the risks
We examine fire risks relating to your building, processes, machinery, installations and people. We also assess the documents you provide on-site.
4. You receive a clear risk assessment
You receive an overview of risks and preventive measures, and a set of clear priorities so that you know exactly what you need to focus on.
