Fire Door Survey
Fire Door Surveys are a robust fire protection measure which should be undertaken, alongside a maintenance schedule, like any other life safety system in a building.
Fire doors help slow the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building, not only to protect lives, but also to protect the property and neighbouring buildings. This only applies, however, if they are correctly maintained in a working condition.
In addition to the references from various design codes, standards and guidance documents, we strongly urge companies to have the condition of their fire doors periodically checked. Failure to do so could dramatically increase the threat level should a fire occur.
Since the uncovering of drastic failings of passive fire protection in various building fires, such as the Grenfell Tower disaster, the importance for suitable checks of passive fire protection has been significantly highlighted.

Our Process
Assess
To assist in your understanding of health and safety requirements, we will identify hazards on site and, for each one, we will determine how well we believe you are currently complying with health and safety standards through observation, evaluation of documentation and discussion.
Validate
For quality assurance, RM has a two stage validation process for each and every audit that is published. First the report is verified by the assessor that carried out the assessment, and secondly the respective Department Head reviews and validates the report before publishing to the client.
Report
To help you to actively manage your risks, RM publishes all of its assessment reports to BLOCK7 where, amongst other things, you will be able to view and download static and dynamic PDF reports. In addition, you can view and search risks according to the categorisation of Intolerable, Substantial and Moderate, or Monitor & Review with Traffic Light methodology.
