Do you know your Fire Door Safety responsibility?

[BWF-CERTIFIRE]

Hi All,

I hope it is OK to start a topic about fire safety and fire doors in particular. I think the BWF-CERTIFIRE scheme will be of interest to many of you here, but if there is a more appropriate place for the post do let me know.

A fire door spends most of its life as just a door, but with thousands of property fires each year, we need to remember it is also a crucial safety device. There remains however a lack of understanding of fire doors and how they work, even amongst those responsible for specifying, buying, installing or inspecting them.

BWF-CERTIFIRE has been providing fire safety advice for over a decade and is the largest independent third-party fire door certification scheme in the UK. If you own a business property or are a landlord, they have a range of information and list of members that can help you with your fire door responsibilities. They can help you fulfil your RRO responsibility to ensure fire safety.

I would really like to hear about your experiences with fire doors and fire safety legislation. What are your thoughts on fire door safety? Do you have any questions about the scheme?

Thanks,

Stefan

Interesting information.It is bewildering to keep up with everything the government wants you to know / do... if I ran a small business myself these days I would find everything you need to know to comply with regulations bewildering!

My Advise that you talk to your fire department or someone of authority
