Fire safety measures aren’t a one-time setup—they need regular re-evaluation to stay effective and compliant. Here are three best practices to help you stay on top of your building’s fire safety compliance:
1. Annual Inspections
Schedule a full fire safety review at least once a year. This ensures fire doors, fire-stopping, and intumescent coatings are performing as expected and meet current regulations.
2. Post-Modification Checks
Re-evaluate fire safety systems after any renovations or structural changes. New penetrations for pipes or cables can compromise fire barriers and need immediate attention.
3. Routine Spot Checks
Carry out interim spot checks on high-traffic areas and vulnerable systems like fire doors and escape routes to catch early signs of wear or damage.
The Bottom Line: Regular re-evaluations help catch issues before they become compliance failures. Stay proactive to protect your building, its occupants, and your legal obligations.
