This week is Fire Door Safety Week and we wanted to bring attention to how important it is to ensure your estate is fire safety compliant. Fire safety is justifiably being re-prioritised by many organisations. New regulations are and have been introduced, and organisations are expected more than ever to make sure it is on their priority list. Utilising our knowledge, we developed a guide that explains the various legislation and details a 5-step approach to Fire Integrity Projects within the Healthcare sector. If you are interested in learning more about fire proofing your estate, you can download the guide via this link: https://loom.ly/C258vdI #FDSW2023 #firedoorsafetyweek #healthandsafety #fireprevention #fireintegrityprojects

Safety is a key focus of the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) -- safety for communities, and safety for the fire service. With Fire Prevention Week and the U.S. Fire Administrator’s Summit on Fire Prevention and Control concluded, it’s a good time to review the USFA’s ongoing national collaboration strategies to increase safety in communities and the fire service. This article by U.S. Fire Administrator Dr. Lori Moore-Merrell walks through the strategies: https://bit.ly/3QoEvJS

As fire doors are in frequent use as part of their daily function, they are prone to risk of damage. It is therefore important to have them inspected or surveyed regularly and maintained to ensure that they are protecting your workplace/residence to a safe and legal standard. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the appointed responsible person is obligated to implement measures that will reduce the risk of fire and fire spread, which includes regular fire door checks. Our fire safety consultant will assess, validate and report on the condition of your fire doors. Once the fire door survey has been completed, we will provide a tailored report that will identify any faults or deficiencies and advise how these can be mitigated to support you in ensuring you remain fully compliant and maintain protection of your workforce and/or residents. We hold 3rd party accreditation with NAFDI (national association of fire door inspectors) so you can rest assured that the work will be completed to the highest standard. #firesafety #firedoors #legalcompliance
