Check Your Fire Doors
In 2021, 75% of inspected fire doors failed to meet safety standards, highlighting the critical need for proper maintenance to protect lives and property. Fire doors slow the spread of smoke and fire, making regular inspections and repairs essential. Under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, multi-occupancy residential buildings over 11 meters must have flat entrance doors checked annually and communal doors inspected quarterly, with responsible persons required to educate residents on the importance of fire doors.

A Fire Door Survey is a thorough inspection of all fire doors in a building carried out by a qualified fire door specialist. As part of the fire door inspection scheme, this will include an assessment of the door’s construction, condition and integrity, as well as any related hardware and components. All findings are reported to you with recommendations for improvements or action that need to be taken.
The definition of fire safety is essentially the necessary planning and actions taken to protect the public from fire hazards.
These measures include preventing the chances of fires to ignite, and effectively controlling those that do – limiting the spread of the fire and the damage caused as a result. This includes limiting building damage or physical harm caused to a person.
Examples of actions could be installing fire doors, fire alarms and fire extinguishers in buildings, to slow down and effectively tackle fires when they break out. Other important safety measures include turning off a gas appliances when finished, or using non-flammable materials.
1 ) Review the fire hazards – Identifying the hazards should be the first task when going through fire safety measures. This would be identifying heat-generating electrical outlets such as plug sockets and lead cables, fuel sources (petrol and paper as examples), and sources of oxygen, such as open windows and doors.
2) Identify those people at risk – Children, the elderly and the disabled, are usually those most vulnerable to fire hazards. Their needs need to be met to ensure a quick, safe exit from the building if a fire was to break out.
3) Evaluate and implement measures needed – You'll now need to work out what's necessary to protect those most vulnerable. This will be spotting what could be done to make occupiers safer, and implementing new changes, which could be anything from installing a new fire door or fire extinguisher to bringing in new fire exits with easier access.
4) Record findings, prepare plan and provide training – Make sure to keep a record of all changes made in the previous step. Once you have this, you can provide a plan on what all building occupiers are to do in the event of a fire, and let them know this information, so that everyone is best prepared if a fire was to break out.
5) Regularly review and update fire risk assessment – Make sure to regularly assess all your fire safety protections you have in place. Risk assessments should ideally be reviewed once a year.

Fire door inspectors should be approved and qualified to carry out the assessment of your door sets competently. They should have a proper qualification registered with the FDIS (Fire Door Inspectors Scheme), CHAS and SafeContractor or another regulatory bodies.
