Fire Door Inspections
Do my doors need to be inspected?
In the wake of the tragic Grenfell Tower fire, the UK government has been compelled to introduce pivotal changes to fire safety legislation. The aim is to prevent similar disasters and elevate overall safety standards.
Let’s examine three key legislative instruments that significantly impact fire safety standards within England: The Fire Safety Act 2021, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, and the specific stipulations under Fire Doors (Regulation 10). These documents serve as fundamental frameworks, outlining responsibilities and establishing precise requirements.
While the Fire Safety Act 2021 lays the groundwork by defining roles and responsibilities, particularly concerning flat entrance doors, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, in particular Regulation 10, provide the technical details that set concrete standards for compliance. Understanding these regulations and specific rules is crucial for Responsible Persons, building owners, and managing agents to ensure safety and sidestep legal repercussions.
