fire safety

In another truly amazing story of collaboration and innovation; thousands of volunteers from the construction industry including builders, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and security professionals have come together to offer their services for free and work collectively as a team to build a 4000-bed capacity single purpose hospital called the Nightingale Hospital. Its sole purpose will be to care for those unfortunate ones who contract the COVID-19 virus.

For all of September, and to celebrate Fire Door Safety Week, we're highlighting our huge range of Fire Door ready products including new products, high security fire door items and much more!

Fire doors are a key defence mechanism against the spread of fires. They are commonly found in public buildings such as schools, hotels and offices and residential flats. A properly installed fire door will contain a fire for at least 30 minutes allowing invaluable time for those in the building to escape from the premises and out of danger.

If you suspect a fire door of being faulty or wish to inspect your own work before/after installation, here is a simple assessment you can carry out. This 5 Step Check can be done by anyone, so ensuring these vital aspects of a fire door are met you can be assured the door should be safe in the case of an emergency*.

Earlier in the year, the Office of National Statistics (ONS) released the annual report for fire-related incidents in England for the year 2018. We wanted to share these findings with you all to give a better understanding of the volume of incidents and the importance of fire safety in our industry.
