Fire Door Inspection

Why it is required

Fire door inspections are essential to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, ensuring safe evacuation. They are legally required under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Regular inspections are vital because wear and tear, improper maintenance, or modifications can compromise fire doors, making them ineffective in emergencies. These inspections ensure functionality, identify defects, and maintain fire door integrity.

Who is Responsible?

In most circumstances, the owner, employer, or occupier of the premises is responsible for ensuring and maintaining correct fire safety and procedures. This person is known as the “responsible person” in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must implement appropriate fire safety measures to minimise the risk to life from fire
