About Fire Door Safety Week
A door’s a door’s a door, right?
No, a fire door is an engineered safety device. Fire doors are a crucial part of the passive fire protection of
every commercial, public and multiple occupancy building. They save
lives and property.
There are about 3 million new fire doors bought and installed every year
in the UK, the vast majority made from timber. Fire doors are often the
first line of defence in a fire and their correct specification,
maintenance and management can be the difference between life and death
for building occupants. However, they remain a significant area
of neglect, often the first thing to be downgraded on a specification
and mismanaged throughout their service life, propped open, damaged and
badly maintained.
Consequently, BWF (British Woodworking Federation) have created Fire Door Safety Week.
