Fire and Explosion : all there is to know for prevention purposes

Preventing, managing and investigating losses relating to fires and explosions by building on feedback. 

Determining the causes and circumstances of fires and explosions (DCCFE) is key to understanding and preventing new losses. Essential and decisive in identifying accountability, it also helps clarify damage liability.

INQUEST provides businesses, lawyers or insurance professionals with assistance during unilateral, joint, amicable or legal appraisal phases.

Crisis management and prevention include all the actions to be taken to avoid or limit the consequences of a loss. Our actions constantly draw from vast feedback.

Specialists in fire and explosion claims

Our experts come from fire, prevention, industrial, automotive and engineering backgrounds. They have very high levels of competence to intervene in the following domains:

Prevention: implementing measures to avoid the occurrence or spread of fire via the following services

  • Audit
  • Advice (fire safety organisation/preparation of instructions)
  • Studies (performance-based approach, safety briefing card, impact assessment and hazard study, etc.)
  • Assistance (Dedicated Safety Officer)
  • Training

Crisis management: the direct and indirect consequences of the fire are taken into account to help get the business up and running again while complying with administrative and regulatory obligations.

Feedback analysis: to make the most of the experience gained during a major loss or implement risk mapping in order to identify weak signals which are often warning signs of a greater loss.

Investigations: to highlight all the elements that contributed to the causes and circumstances of a fire or explosion. Our investigators follow a scientific approach to identify the root causes and therefore highlight any non-compliances.
INQUEST also employs court appointed experts and loss adjusters capable of performing third-party or arbitration interventions in France and other French-speaking countries.
