Last updated: 1 October 2026
These Terms of Use apply to your use of the ESI: Fire Safety website.
By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website.
About ESI: Fire Safety
This website is operated by ESI: Fire Safety, a UK fire safety consultancy providing services including fire risk assessment, fire strategy, fire engineering and fire safety consultancy.
References on this website to “ESI: Fire Safety”, “ESI”, “we”, “us” or “our” mean the business operating this website.
These Terms of Use relate to use of the website only. The provision of professional services by ESI: Fire Safety is subject to the terms agreed for the particular instruction, quotation or appointment.
Information on this website
We aim to ensure that information published on this website is accurate, useful and reasonably up to date.
However, fire safety requirements depend on the circumstances of the individual premises, including its design, construction, use, occupancy, management arrangements and applicable legislation and guidance.
Information published on this website is therefore provided for general information and educational purposes. It should not be treated as a substitute for a fire risk assessment, fire strategy, engineering assessment or other professional advice relating to a particular building or situation.
Standards, legislation, government guidance and industry guidance may also change. Where we refer to legislation, British Standards, government guidance or other technical documents, you should check that you are using the appropriate and current version for your circumstances.
Professional advice
Nothing on this website creates a professional adviser-client relationship between you and ESI: Fire Safety.
A professional relationship is established only where we have expressly agreed to provide services to you.
You should not make significant fire safety, building design, compliance or life-safety decisions solely on the basis of general information published on this website.
Where a matter relates to a particular premises, project or fire safety issue, appropriate competent professional advice should be obtained.
Use of the website
You may use this website for lawful purposes and for obtaining information about ESI: Fire Safety and the subjects discussed on the website.
You must not use the website:
- unlawfully or fraudulently;
- in a way that interferes with the operation or security of the website;
- to introduce viruses, malicious software or other harmful material;
- to attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its server or associated systems;
- to misrepresent your relationship with ESI: Fire Safety; or
- to reproduce or exploit our content in a way that infringes our intellectual property rights.
We may change, suspend or withdraw parts of the website where reasonably necessary.
Copyright and intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the original text, reports, articles, graphics, photographs, diagrams, branding and other material created by ESI: Fire Safety and published on this website are protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights.
You may view, print or download reasonable extracts for your own personal or internal business reference.
You must not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, commercially exploit or substantially copy our original material without our prior permission, except where permitted by law.
Some material appearing on this website may belong to third parties. The relevant third-party rights continue to apply to that material.
References to legislation, standards, government publications and industry guidance do not imply that ESI: Fire Safety owns those materials.
British Standards and other technical publications
This website may discuss requirements or recommendations contained within British Standards, European Standards and other technical publications.
Any descriptions or summaries are provided to explain technical matters and should not be regarded as reproducing or replacing the relevant standard.
Where compliance with a particular standard is required, the official publication should be consulted.
External links
This website may contain links to government departments, professional organisations, standards bodies, manufacturers, industry organisations and other third-party websites.
These links are provided where we believe they may be useful.
We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, security or privacy practices. The inclusion of a link does not necessarily mean that ESI: Fire Safety endorses the organisation, product, service or information concerned.
Accuracy and availability
We take reasonable care when preparing material for this website, particularly where it relates to fire safety legislation, standards and technical guidance.
However, we cannot guarantee that every page will always be complete, current or applicable to every situation.
We also cannot guarantee that the website will always be available or free from technical errors, viruses or other harmful components.
If you believe that any technical or regulatory information on the website is incorrect or out of date, please contact us so that we can review it.
Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Subject to that, ESI: Fire Safety is not responsible for loss arising solely from reliance on general website information where professional advice appropriate to the particular building, project or circumstances has not been obtained.
Our liability in relation to professional services that we have specifically agreed to provide is governed by the terms applying to that appointment and not by these Website Terms of Use.
Enquiries and information submitted through the website
Submitting an enquiry, contact form or other information through this website does not in itself create a contract or professional appointment.
We may need further information before determining whether we can assist or before providing a quotation or accepting an instruction.
Please do not use ordinary website contact forms to send information that is highly confidential or security-sensitive unless we have agreed an appropriate method of transmission with you.
Our handling of personal information is explained separately in our Privacy Policy.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time, for example following changes to the website, our services or applicable legal requirements.
The current version will be published on this page together with the date it was last updated.
Governing law
These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
Any dispute relating to the use of this website will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, subject to any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
