Keep fire doors shut

Keep fire doors shut

A fire door only works if it's shut. Under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order, two thousand and five, the Responsible Person must keep escape routes protected. A propped-open door lets fire and smoke spread. Get a competent assessment, fix the priority findings, and keep the record. It's a legal duty, not optional.

*HawkSwift delivers fixed-fee fire-risk assessments from £199, reviewed by NEBOSH-qualified assessors. Book yours.*
