It is fire door safety week 2020 and as a leading supplier of fire safety products such as roller shutters and doors we are naturally in full support and celebration this week here at Quay Facilities.
The fire safety week 2020 campaign is in full effect this week, from the 21-27th September. Started in 2013, this campaign is a response to the legacy of fire door neglect and as such, it is known as a ‘mass market’ awareness campaign to increase public understanding of the role that fire doors play in protecting life and property.
Now in its 8th year, Fire Door Safety Week remains committed to its original objectives:
For the 2020 week-long campaign, the Fire Door Safety Week group have conducted some research into the state of fire door maintenance, replacement and inspection programmes across local authority owned and managed housing in the UK. The insights from the research revealed that residents in the UK without fit for purpose fire doors continue to be put at risk, as 60% of local authorities delay fire door programmes and leave safety chance – this is just one of the interesting findings from this research, which was undertaken in July 2020 and analysed in August 2020.
You can visit the Fire Safety Week website for further details and insights for fire door safety in 2020.
