Protect Your Employees With Fire Door Safety
Health and safety is a vast area of workplace compliance, as it covers everything from First Aid and risk assessments to the avoiding of slips, trips and falls. However, one of the most crucial components of workplace health and safety is preventing fires and knowing what to do if one starts on your premises.
Whilst fire extinguishers are of course essential, fire doors play a core role in containing blazes and helping staff to exit the building safely. If you’re looking for fire door safety solutions, Intertech Contracts is fully accredited under the BM TRADA Q-Mark scheme for fire door installation and fire door maintenance.
How do fire doors work?
Fire doors are cleverly designed, as their structures are fitted with intumescent strips that automatically expand when they reach a certain temperature. This causes the strip to seal the gap between the door and the frame, which stops smoke from entering additional spaces. Meanwhile, a fire door’s thick and dense structure holds back fire more than a regular door.
Why are fire doors so important?
Fire doors should be installed in suitable locations throughout your offices, commercial unit or industrial site. Below are five key reasons why your business needs modern and reliable fire doors:
