Fire safety is crucial to help protect lives and property. Appropriate standards must be met and maintained, ignoring these safely standards can be very expensive. Non compliance can cost lives and a likelihood of a heavy fine, even if a fire has broken out or not.

The most common faults

Most new buildings have fire doors, apart from incorrect installation fire inspection officials encounter the following breaches of fire safety.

Its not just about quality it’s about legal responsibility as well. Jeremy French a fire officer in the UK says “…where we see a focus on using the lowest price, we also see low levels of compliancy and operational problems with doors. Competent people are making uninformed potentially life threatening decisions not through negligence but ignorance”.
