LEVELLING UP ON FIRE SAFETY – Secure Safety Solutions.
Wiltshire’s health and safety consultancy, Secure Safety Solutions, are taking a serious approach to fire safety. Their head consultant, Andrew Wilkinson is now a Level 4 Fire Risk Assessor.
Secure Safety Solutions launched in 2019 by Andrew Wilkinson, Director and Senior Safety Consultant. In a previous life he worked as a health and safety specialist at Heathrow Airport. He now advises businesses on their health and safety standards, as well as keeping companies compliant across the UK.
Early 2026 saw Andrew achieve the status of being a Level 4 Fire Risk Assessor. This makes him an advanced fire risk assessor, reflecting his experience and skill alongside recognised standards.
A level 4 fire risk assessor status is difficult to acquire. This makes Andrew’s newly-attained qualification a rare and much-needed commodity.
What it required
To gain my higher qualification, I had to demonstrate my experience, complete a knowledge-based assessment, and submit work to display my competency. The process also included real-life fire risk assessments for review,’ Andrew said. ‘It put my skills to the test, and it was worth it! Secure Safety Solutions can now take on more complex assessments. And bring safer buildings and businesses to our community.’
A level 4 fire risk assessor can carry out risk assessments for more complex or higher risk buildings, such as:
- multi-occupied residential buildings
- care settings
- larger commercial properties
- or buildings with more complex layouts or fire risks.
My new credentials strengthen the level of service we can offer. It also gives clients extra confidence in the standard of our assessments. And that means we’re able to support a wider range of clients, particularly where there are more complex buildings involved,’ he continued.
For buildings and businesses in the UK, Andrew’s certification provides reassurance that assessments are being carried out by a suitably qualified and competent assessor. And supports safer buildings and better-informed fire safety management.
‘I still come across fire risk assessments that aren’t always suitable for the type of building. In par particular where the assessor’s level of experience or competency isn’t aligned with the risk. That’s why I’m passionate about maintaining a high standard of work. And continuing to develop mine and our business’ knowledge and qualifications. It ensures our assessments are accurate, practical and useful for clients.’
