Protecting your business from the devastating effects of a fire should be a top priority for any commercial property, workplace, or house in multiple occupations (HMO). An effective fire detection system is crucial, as it provides the earliest possible warning of a fire, giving occupants valuable time to evacuate and potentially saving lives. Moreover, the damage to property, equipment, and data can be minimised, reducing downtime and financial loss.
However, having a fire detection system alone is not enough. This September, during Fire Door Safety Week, it is important to remember that fire doors are an equally vital part of your fire safety strategy. Fire doors are designed to withstand intense heat and flames, containing the spread of fire and smoke. They play a pivotal role in compartmentalising a building, allowing people to evacuate safely and providing extra time for the fire services to arrive and control the situation.
Fire Door Safety Week raises awareness
Fire doors are specifically constructed to offer resistance for a certain period, typically 30 to 60 minutes, helping to keep escape routes clear and protecting both people and property. A fully functioning fire door should always be kept closed, properly fitted, and regularly maintained to ensure it performs as expected in an emergency.
