Fire Door Safety Week

By Admin | Blog | Comments are Closed | 20 September, 2021 | 0

We walk past dozens of fire doors every day without even noticing them. We don’t give them a second thought – at least, not until we need them.

But fire doors are a critical element in preventing the spread of fire and smoke, and it should be everybody’s responsibility in a shared building to make sure that they are fit for purpose.

Fire Door Safety Week have a simple “5 Step Check” that anyone can do:

  1. Look for labels or markings that show the door is third party certificated and has traceability back to the original manufacturer
  2. Check that the door is marked correctly with the appropriate signage and that it closes tightly against the frame
  3. Ensure that the door or frame has the fire and smoke seal, and that the door closes correctly with an even gap all around of about 3mm
  4. Check the fire-rated hinges are fitted firmly in the door and that there are no missing screws
  5. Make sure the door is not damaged or ever wedged or propped open

 

The check won’t replace a full inspection by a competent individual – but it will highlight if there are any problems that need fixing.
