5 Step Fire Door Check

Fire doors are essential for building safety, acting as a barrier against fire and smoke to give occupants more time to escape and reduce property damage in an emergency. Over time, especially in high-traffic areas, fire doors can become worn or damaged. Regular checks and maintenance aren’t just good practice - they’re essential. Neglecting them can put lives at risk. That’s why the British Woodworking Federation (BWF) created the 5 Step Fire Door Check. This simple guide helps you quickly identify potential issues so the ‘responsible person’ can be promptly alerted, keeping your building safe. Watch this video to learn how to perform your own 5 Step Fire Door Check. Please note: This check is not a substitute for a full, professional inspection by a competent person. #FireSafety #FireDoors #BuildingSafety #HealthAndSafety
