Why FireCheck?

Fire safety is one of the most critical risks in hospitality, where detection, response, and evacuation must happen immediately with no margin for error. 

With complex environments, effective fire safety depends on trained teams who understand procedures and can act quickly. It must be actively managed and tested to ensure your teams are ready to take the right action and protect guests at all times. 

What is included in FireCheck

FireCheck assesses fire safety performance across the property, including detection and alarm systems, fire fighting equipment, escape routes, emergency lighting, high-risk areas, and the effectiveness of fire prevention and response procedure. 

Our specialists combine independent assessment with practical, on-site guidance, identifying realistic improvements that strengthen fire safety readiness and reduce risk exposure. 

Certification is granted to properties achieving the required benchmark score and meeting audit conditions, evidencing effective fire safety management and operational control.

Certified properties are eligible for listing on our Safe Hotels Directory, providing visible third-party recognition of their fire safety standards. 

All findings, scoring, and corrective actions are managed through our eCristal digital platform, allowing teams to assign actions, upload evidence, and monitor fire safety performance at site or portfolio level.
