Why I think I can help ..

Hello There! Why us?

My company trades as ‘Richard McCann & Associates’. We are a small family business.

I am a Chartered engineer and member of Engineers Ireland.


I have been in private practice as a consulting engineer for 20 years. 

Before this, I had the benefit of 4 years service with Cork City and County Councils as an Assistant Chief Fire Officer working in fire prevention. This period was preceded by a similar period of 4 years with what was the Southern Health Board as a Fire & Safety Officer. I provided fire safety advice and training to 9,000 staff in 28 hospitals across Cork. Consequently I am well familiar with fire safety in buildings generally, and in the healthcare sector in particular.

I have been in private practice as a fire safety consultant since 2004 and am available to assist you with your fire safety requirements.

Since the introduction of the Disabled Access Certificate process, I can also help with this requirement, which sits nicely with my ergonomics training.
