3 The role of a Fire Door A fire door is different to an escape door Most buildings have compartmentalisation Walls, floors and ceilings (effective separation) The fire door becomes part of the wall (when its closed) Restricts passage of fire and smoke for a time period in accordance with the test Enables safe escape by protecting escape routes Helps to protect assets elsewhere in the building
4 The role of a Fire Door Commonly fire doors are rated FD30 and FD60 Most also provide cold smoke protection (s) Most made from timber products Passive fire safety device Life & Asset Protection
5 The role of a Fire Door Fire doors are extremely effective in holding back fire and smoke They do save lives and protect buildings from further damage BUT in order to do so they must be installed and maintained correctly. Many are not! Common faults are: Doors not self closing correctly Large gaps between door and frame/floor Damaged seals Incorrect or damaged glazing Poor installation and repairs
6 The role of a Fire Door A survey of FDIS Fire Door Inspectors findings 61% had faulty or missing fire seals or smoke seals 33% didn t have correct signage eg. Fire Door Keep Shut or Fire Door Keep Locked Then there s: hinges, perimeter gaps, threshold gap, glazing and more.

8 The role of a Fire Door A word about Escape Doors.. Not usually a fire resisting door (but could be). Usually the final exit door used in an emergency to reach place of safety. Two types 1) Emergency Escape. An escape door usually in a workplace. Occupants know how to use it. 2) Panic Escape. An escape door in a place where public may be present.
9 Building Operators Legal Obligations In 2005 a new piece of fire safety legislation was introduced. It is called Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and came into force in It is enforced by Fire & Rescue Services and applies to England and Wales. The RR(FS)O or Fire Safety Order applies to virtually all premises other than inside peoples private homes. Building operators have a legal duty to comply and must appoint a Responsible Person.

16 How the Law applies to Fire Doors
17 Understanding Competence Article 18 of the Fire Safety Order says the Responsible Person must appoint a Competent Person as necessary to comply with the law. The law makes reference to the Competent Person as Someone with sufficient training and experience, qualifications and knowledge to be able to implement fire safety measures (some or all) in a building
18 Understanding Competence When it comes to Fire Doors and Escape Doors the Competent Person should be able to demonstrate that he or she is suitably qualified to inspect, advise on, install, maintain or repair them. These types of doors are unlike normal doors and there are standards and regulations that cover products, components and installation.
19 Understanding Competence Fire Doors are different to normal doors. They must be fire performance tested You cannot assume that all fire doors are the same You cannot assume that all door hardware is suitable for fire doors
