Why are fire door inspections important?
Fire door compliance is important because it protects lives, limits damage, and ensures legal compliance.
Why it matters:
- Legal Compliance: Ensuring your fire doors are correctly maintained and inspected helps meet your obligations under UK fire safety legislation, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and significantly reduces the risk of enforcement action and substantial fines.
- Preserving Life: Correctly specified, installed, and maintained fire doors are proven to save lives by controlling fire and smoke
- Property Protection: Effective fire doors limit the spread of fire, reducing damage and disruption
What compliant fire doors are designed to do:
- Contain: Restrict fire and smoke from spreading.
- Protect: Minimise danger and save lives.
- Clear: Provide a smoke-free path to safety.
Common causes of non-compliance, which lead to failure of the door, include:
- Incorrectly specified or poorly installed doors
- Maintained without sufficient knowledge of fire safety requirements
- Damaged by inappropriate repairs or alterations, reducing performance
- Wear and tear due to usage of the door in situ
