A fire door survey is an inspection to determine whether a door will hold back fire and smoke for a predetermined period.
Some contractors ask third party fire door inspectors to provide evidence that a fire door has been installed to the correct standard.
Older fire doors will not usually comply with current standards. Therefore some managers require that such doors are brought up to a higher standard. For example the door may be upgraded to include combined smoke and heat seals. Other doors may have been repaired so no longer can be passed as “certified fire doors” A fire door survey will look at such issues such as hinges, fire glass, heat and smoke seals, self closers, frames and door rebates etc.
A fire door surveyor will examine the door to determine whether the door will resist fire for the required timescale.

Fire safety law requires a building to have a sufficient number of trained persons to implement the fire evacuation plan.
The number of fire marshals will depend on the size of the building, the type of workplace and also whether there are different work shifts.
As a rough guide you will need one fire marshal and one deputy for each 60 seconds of the search area. To calculate how many fire marshals you need per floor: Get one fire marshal to carry out a check of the entire floor and time them. If it takes two minutes you will need two fire marshals and two deputies.
We discuss the different types of accounting procedure on our fire marshal training London open programmes. To book your places on our course either call or email us.
Yes. We do offer fire watchmen training courses. The training is based on NFCC (National Fire Chiefs Council) guidance, London Fire Brigade workplace training advice and also British Standards.

We have provided fire watchmen training for buildings fitted with cladding. The fire watchmen training was reviewed by inspecting officers for a building requiring fire watchmen.

If there are any change of circumstances in a workplace, then fire procedures and also plans should be reviewed..
The COVID pandemic has meant that many workplaces have downsized, so there are less persons in a workplace. This may include less fire marshals or fire wardens. Therefore, fire marshal training for existing persons could be required and also possibly a new evacuation plan. For example, moving from a sweep system to a roll call.

A fire risk assessment. This should be in a recognised format such as PAS79, which is also the method that London Fire Brigade audit buildings.
A fire emergency plan should also be produced that details all of the arrangements for fire safety in the workplace.
Staff fire training will also be required. This will for general staff, fire marshals, the person who calls the fire service and also anyone else with a role in the fire evacuation plan.
Fire extinguishers should also be in place. Managers can discuss placement with the fire risk assessor so they are in the correct location.
