The Importance of Fire Doors - £30 Door Closer Unit saves the lives of 60 children!
PROBLEM:
********** carried out a Fire Risk Assessment on a nursery that cared for 60 children, as well as accommodating 40 other adults. The assessment recommended that a self-closing device be fitted onto an existing fire door that was regularly left open by staff members. ********* highlighted the significance of the corridor, which is situated on the only escape route in the building.
SOLUTION:
Although the client was initially hesitant to implement ********* Ltd’s recommended changes, they were convinced of the importance of the route by the ********* Assessor and installed the correct closing device.
RESULT:
Three months later a six month old condenser tumble dryer went on fire inside the laundry room, with the fire door firmly shut by the new closing device. The damage to the laundry room was considerable, but the corridor outside the room was unaffected and protected, keeping it smoke free and safe to evacuate all users of the building. The Fire Risk Assessment carried out by ******* could well have saved the lives of many members of the public.
