Regular Inspection
- If you have had a Fire Risk Assessment, ensure that all doors were covered, and the assessor is knowledgeable in this area.
- When you do your regular check, identify and include the fire doors, do the five step fire door safety check.
- If in doubt bring in a professional to carry out a survey – find them on the fire door inspection scheme website at fdis.co.uk
