Fire Door Safety Week: Know the risks

960 640 Stuart O'Brien

Abloy UK has released an infographic that uncovers recent statistics around fire door safety and highlights the risks around non-compliance. 

The move marks the start of Fire Door Safety Week 2019, explaining how fire can spread fast, recommendations on how to make premises safe from fire, details of fire door regulations and responsibility and penalties for non-compliance.

Pat Jefferies, Commercial Director of Abloy UK, said: “Fire Door Safety Week is an excellent opportunity to shine a light on the issues around the risks of unregulated fire doors, and educate those responsible for ensuring safety in buildings.

“Although the initiative gives us a relevant platform to highlight these issues, fire door safety should be front of mind all year round – especially when the ultimate cost from non-compliance can be the loss of life.

“That’s why Abloy is committed to educating anyone responsible for the specification and installation of fire doors through our Academy – whether that’s an architect, specifier, systems integrator, landlord or facilities manager.

“We’ve been training delegates at the Abloy Academy on the points raised in this infographic and so much more for over a decade, and are proud to help ensure public safety through fire door safety education for many more decades to come.”
