Aleron's Approach to Fire Door Compliance

Recent findings from CE Safety, a health and safety training provider, have revealed concerning statistics about fire door safety in the UK.

A survey of 1,000 office workers uncovered significant knowledge gaps and compliance failures, highlighting the critical need for professional fire protection services like those offered by Aleron Fire Protection.

The Fire Door Inspection Scheme reported that a staggering 75% of fire doors in Britain fail to meet required safety standards, with 31% incorrectly installed from the outset.
