Fire Door Safety Week: Enhancing Property Safety With Certified Solutions
Updated: Oct 16, 2024

Fire doors are a vital component of building safety, designed to prevent the spread of smoke, flames, and heat. They allow occupants valuable time to evacuate safely and provide firefighters time to arrive and control the situation. In doing so, fire doors protect both the people inside and the property itself. They are an essential part of a building's fire protection strategy.
Fire Door Safety Week runs from the 23rd to the 27th of September in 2024. It is a UK-wide campaign held every September to raise awareness about the critical role fire doors play in protecting lives and property. It aims to highlight the importance of proper installation, regular maintenance, and adherence to safety standards, encouraging property owners, managers, and the general public to take fire door safety seriously. For more details about the campaign, visit the official Fire Door Safety Week website.
In the spirit of Fire Door Safety Week, now is the perfect moment to highlight the importance of maintaining these life-saving installations.
Regulations for Fire Safety
‘Responsible Person’ has a legal obligation under UK regulations to ensure that their building’s fire doors are regularly inspected. The frequency of these inspections depends on the height of the building. Read more information on this on the Gov website, which gives full details on how often your fire doors should be checked. These inspections, carried out by certified fire door surveyors, assess the condition of the doors and identify any required repairs or replacements. Any non-compliance with fire safety regulations is flagged for immediate action.
For more details on specific fire door regulations, it’s always a good idea to consult the relevant legal standards such as the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which provide comprehensive guidance on fire safety measures. But we are always up to date with the latest fire door regulations so can assist in advising you on these regulations.
