Keep Your Doors 100% Compliant
Under the Fire Safety Order, every workplace, venue, rental and communal block must have fire doors that shut, seal and prove they work. Ignore it and you could face crippling fines, cancelled insurance and even prosecution.
It's the law!
Article 17 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places an obligation on the “Responsible Person” to ensure fire doors are “subject to a suitable system of inspection and are maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair”. Given that the employer, building operator, building owner or possibly his agent has a legal duty to maintain fire doors in efficient working order, regular inspection will be necessary.
The five most common fire door faults
Over 61% of tested fire doors had fire or smoke seals either missing, installed incorrectly or not filling perimeter gaps correctly.
Over 1/3 of tested fire doors had incorrect signage installed.
More than 34% of fire doors inspected had excessive gaps between the door and it’s frame (i.e. over 3mm).
One in five of fire doors inspected had unsuitable hinges.
Over 15% of fire doors had damage to the door leaf.
Insurers require certified fire doors to be installed, inspected, and maintained. Wedging them open, removing them, or missing scheduled maintenance breaches policy terms and can lead to higher premiums, claim refusals, or even cancellation of cover.
Alarmingly, 90% of policy-holders remain unaware of these obligations.
